Out of Town Streaming Radio Feed on iPhone Help for Friday's Game
Hello everyone, I need some help from the Ann Arbor locals. I am not from the Ann Arbor/Detroit area, aside from the brief 4 year stint in undergrad, so I'm not familiar with the local radio shows and who broadcasts the game.
This Friday I will be on the road traveling and need to find a way to stream a broadcast of the game through my iPhone since I'm not going to be within range to pick up the game over regular radio waves. I have heard of iheartradio apps, etc, and am hoping others here have used online streaming apps to find the broadcast.
I checked mgoblue.com and they only have ESPN listed as TV source (not ESPN Radio) and streaming audio from mgoblue (but will that work through an iPhone?).
Has anyone done this before? Thanks for the help...
that you should look for are Iheartradio of which once you have that app look for WOOD radio out of Grand Rapids, they generally carry the game. Another app is TuneIn Radio and you might find the game on that app as well on Detroits 97.1 The Ticket or 1050 WTKA sports station. I use the mgoblue.com radio stream on my computer but it doesn't seem to work on my phone. Go Blue.
Is my favorite. Using that app while living in TX, makes game days much better. It sure beats browser refreshing.
In the sticky thread Listening to the game...anywhere!, someone also mentioned the Big Ten Network iPhone app, which carries each team's radio broadcast. See this BTN page.
Thanks for the help. The BTN app costs $3.99 to get live audio...so I didn't want to go that route. I mean, yeah, it's only $3.99 but why do that if I can find it somewhere for free? The Grand Rapids radio station is nice, but I was hoping for a "home town" feel and broadcast. I'll try iheartradio app and look for 1050AM.
The Grand Rapids station is an affiliate of the Michigan Sports Marketing network, so the broadcast will be the same as that on 1050.
Awesome, thanks. Yeah WOOD radio is on iheartradio but not any other local to Ann Arbor stations, I think?
Mystery solved, thanks.
Raoul has nailed it but just in case someone needs step by step info, here is the crib sheet from the Sticky post I made some time ago:
1. Go to the App store and get the free application "tuneinradio".
2. Run the "tuneinradio" app.
3. IF THE GAME IS BEFORE 5PM search for WTKA, if it is after 5PM, search for WWWW
These stations will cover the game, if you have any problems feel free to post back to this thread and we can work through it with you. I recommend testing this out ahead of time, as sometimes there are hiccups...

Thanks for the sticky thread on that...I didn't know it existed. Also, FWIW, TuneIn Radio app on the iPhone is no longer free, so I went with the iheartradio option and will hope Grand Rapids comes through for me.
