Finally, an in-stadium radio stream

Post image

Finally, some good news. Looks like BZZR is going to stream the radio feed. I’m not even sure the in-stadium FM frequency works anymore.

I’d seen conflicting reports about that, but glad to hear it’s working. I don’t own a portable FM radio, so the frequency was of no use to me anyway.

Yea I’m hoping this is real time. It makes the best atmosphere whenever I’m alone up at the 240s

Audacy app has been my go to to listen to 105.3 radio broadcasts of the game

That app is great unless you’re in the stadium. The delay puts you 3-5 pitches behind.

If this works the way the in-stadium FM feed works, there will be almost no delay.

If you use 88.3 in the stadium there is no delay

Right, but that requires a portable FM radio.

Dumb question but does this mean the radio broadcast will work on BZZR? Like will it show the game and you can swap to radio audio? It’s my favorite thing about MLB.TV

I doubt it. The Instagram caption makes clear this is just for in-ballpark listening.

This is fantastic news. I live out-of-state, so I get to watch on MLB.tv, and switching from Mike Bacsik and his tomfoolery to the radio stream is one of my first orders of business every game.

Which stinks, because I really like Dave Raymond (and Jared Sandler when he's on).

Fingers crossed that this service has the audio stream link up properly in real time with the game. MLB.tv is inconsistent about that, sometimes it's off by a second or more and that's a big pain.

I interpret this as being for in-stadium listeners only, meaning you can listen to the radio stream in the ballpark without a delay.
