TuneIn app

[EagleD]

Anyone else have issues listening to games on the tunein app?  I can hear women’s basketball just fine but when MBB rolls around the feed goes silent. Everything else plays fine (normal jazz programming). I understand Learfield/IMG don’t let KNTU stream on their website. It seems TuneIn is using that feed. 
I’ve been round and around with KNTU. They say it’s on my end. I’ve asked a few other people with different providers in different cities and they all have the same issue. 
Anyone else?

I have gotten tunein only like once this seasons.  Otherwise it always seems down.

Just get an endless thinking circle.

The arrangement with Learfield, I forget the exact language, but it means this:

1) You can’t look for KNTU/88.1. That feed (via internet) is blacked out.  FM radio works.  I know, weird.

2) You can find it on TuneIn by doing a search for “Mean Green”.  You will find a Mean Green-Learfield specific stream, but it is sometimes not the MGRN.

It's working for me right now. 🤷‍♂️

Interestingly it worked with greenminers link, even though it's the same exact website at UNTFan23's.  Bizarre.

One thing I’m starting to wrap my mind around is that internet feeds are global.  This is a given, we’ve known this forever, but it recently dawned on me that it’s probably a big deal that providers can cater ads to your region.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this plays a big part in why internet feeds - even if sourced from the same broadcast as FM/AM radio - don’t follow the same rules.

Thank you soooooo much. It’s weird that I can get the WBB feed searching KNTU. You sir are the shiznit!

I think the streaming change has to do with the fact that Learfield IMG College signed an agreement to have TuneIn be their exclusive streaming partner.

Good to know.  I haven't used TuneIn for BB games, but I had the same issues as @EagleD during football season.
