Listening to the broadcast while at Apogee

greensleeves · September 27, 2019

This is a pitiful question, but please be kind anyway. I usually take a little radio and listen to the KNTU broadcast of the game while I'm at Apogee watching it. I can never

get good wifi at the stadium, so I don't like to rely on an internet connection. But it seems as if you can't listen to the broadcast on KNTU this season. (This will be the first game

I've attended this year). Just wondering how anyone else listens to the broadcast while at Apogee. Am I the only one who can't get a good internet connection? I have a I-phone with At&T so I don't think its my phone. And what station is doing our broadcast this year?

And finally, GMG and Crush the Cougars!

No expert...but 20000 people using their phones at the same time seems to slow my phone down too when in Apogee. Out in the parking lot seems to work ok. I sit on the west side of the stadium...is the eastside or wing any better?

KNTU isn’t broadcasting the games? What?!

If we only knew of a company that provides wireless services to places such as college campuses. If we can find one, we should offer them naming rights to our stadium.

I always listen to the post game show on kntu as I drive home from the games and assumed they aired the game.

I have listened to away games on khyi 95.3 before, but not this year. I don't know if they are still part of the network.

WiFi in Apogee is horrible. It’s a head scratcher as to why Apogee the company cannot help address that issue.

I am in Arkansas. In the past I have listened to games on KNTU, but this year they do not carry the game. Very disappointing.

This is why I strongly believe that there should be a MGSF perk of a members only WiFi network in Apogee.

Great idea!

Not sure why y’all are having problems, but I listened to the entire game last week live on 88.1 from Apogee. The broadcast was great and there was no delay. I did not however listen on line and that may be the issue. I have found that listening on line is iffy at best, not to mention the 5 plus second delay. Try listening live on an FM radio, it will work just fine.

It’s old school, but would this work?

@NTEX91 is correct: if you’re trying to stream it online, you have to find the learfield channel on TuneIn. The new broadcasting contract with them prevents KNTU from streaming it themselves.

FM radio should still be working fine, though.

greensleeves · September 28, 2019

Thank you all. I'm in Tyler, so I have to stream the games on the internet when I'm here instead of Apogee. I was assuming it would be the same thing for listening via old school radio broadcast when I'm in range of the radio station. Glad I am wrong about that!

And that photograph of the little radio looks exactly what I bring with me. Much to my companions' chagrin. Until they ask what actually happened on the last play....

KNTU seems to be really struggling with their online presence. Web site is not being kept up. They don’t have replays of the games and coaches shows this year. Not enough donations?

I used to bring a small FM radio to the games. That worked great for a couple of years.

Then i realized that all android phones already have an FM tuner app on them.

So now all i bring is my smart phone and some headphones. Check your phone to see if it has an FM Tuner.

It works great. Listening to the FM broadcast while watching the game at apogee is a game changer. It's called, "FM Radio" and it came already installed on my phone.

Also, if you're watching the game live, it's annoying to listen via wifi because there's about a 15 second delay. if you listen to FM Radio, it's synced perfectly.
