Game day radio broadcast question
-
I can't listen to the Browns games on the radio in my area, none the station signals are strong enough. I really miss the play by play done by Jimmy Donovan.. I can't listen to it online because of stupid contract rules or whatever. Would it be against the law if someone put a mic up to their radio and streamed the radio broadcast over the internet? If not, why doesn't anyone do it? My best memories of watching the browns is watching the game on TV with the sound turned off and listen to play by play on the radio...

An easy way to fix this problem is to move from what bumShmuck hillbilly town you guys live in and move to NE Ohio, where seeing/listening to the Browns is easy. ?

I know people who use iHeart even for some obscure college games all over the USA and it appears to work well.......
.......unless you live in some swamp like Canal Fulton, Ohio.

Maybe it is blocked by area... Try the KNR website and try going to the streaming link. I have no problems with it here in Dayton, though I will admit, I've yet to use it during a game.
Just my $2 worth here. I've tried to get the game on 98.5 using Iheart or streaming. Works good until the pregame comes on and then it's taped music. I guess the NFL is worried that you might figure out a way to screw them out of a nickel.

It's possible. I understand if they want you to sign up for game pass to get the video feeds. But radio? That's taking it too far. Plus it's screwing affected the radio stations out of advertising revenue. Same reason a game is blacked out on Sunday Ticket if it's available as an OTA broadcast.
Well for you unfortunates, there's always reddit to try....

Doug, can you get 1440 WHKC out of Warren, OH, I listened to the whole miserable game on it.
........oh nice to listen to the radio guys once in awhile, Donovan & Dieken.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
You cheap Shmucks will just have to fork out the bucks to watch or listen.

Money is no problem, it's what's available out there without changing my whole system around. Armstrong Cable here just does NOT offer it or BTN among other things. I don't mind occassional Indians games but BROWNS games just tick me off in Ohio......but they follow the blackout rules to their advantage.

Jim Donovan is the best in the biz.

And before him, Casey Coleman and Nev Chandler were fantastic too.
R.I.P. to both.

He sure can get excited but in a good way, just does BROWNS football right -and- Dieken is that steady lineman as the color guy.......nice combination.
We're spoiled in baseball too, Hammy, Herb Score, Tait, Jimmy Dudley and others.
Not bad in hoops either.
GO CLEVELAND, TV or radio we're covered!

No radio in Ohio, South of Columbus, hard to believe but it's true! ( The NFL broadcast rules are total BS, F THEM!)
You can listen live here, but it's the worst sound quality of any internet radio I've ever listened to.
