They just got the new website up last week. I asked about podcasts and they promised they were working on it. For now the only way to hear the interviews is to Listen Live.

Tried to pick up 730 this morning before the sun came up. Couldn’t get it, but did find a very clear 740 AM in Ontario playing Perry Como!

Ah! The miracles of AM radio. They used to call WBT The Blowtorch of the South cause you could hear it from Canada to Cuba at night.

I can pick up WBT in DC crystal clear at night.

David Scott interview from today:

49ers sports start at the 4:40 mark.

At the informational session there was an offensive lineman who played at the East/West Allstar Game who plans to walk on!

Conference talk mostly. Basketball talk as well.

Conference talk?

Tell me more…

Jeez. Can we get somebody to cover us that shows some give-a-dam.n

Left Halton Arena after the game and traveled 8 miles to my house and couldn’t pick-up 730 clearly the whole way home. I could hear coach major’s voice but couldn’t understand any words over the static. What’s the point of even having the radio feed? The AD pays for this?

just PATHETIC. RIDICULOUS.

Not being able to hear the postgame waiting in the parking lot or on the ride home absolutely sucks. I am so disappointed.

It’s unbelievable, NA. Hated it.

What company would want to advertise during our basketball games when you can’t hear the game on the radio?! I enjoy listening to the pre-game and post-game shows driving to and from the games too bad that is impossible now! BTW the davidson and tarhole games could clearly be heard tonight in the University area…

[quote=ā€œX-49er, post:12, topic:25280ā€]The broadcast power is weaker than 1660 was at night. Their transmitter is located near Belmont Abbey. I’m wondering if it will even pick up on campus at night. They only broadcast with 195 Watts at night. :o

Somebody on campus please verify this. Also, if you live in Kannapolis or Salisbury check to see if you can hear it at night. Thanks.[/quote]

It’s pathetic, and it’s worse than I thought. What exactly are we paying for if the game broadcast can’t even be heard on campus? :-[ The ONLY positive that I can see is if the stream from their website carries the game it appears we will have a good stream to listen to via smartphone or computer.

One of them is only 56 watts at night. 56 watts!

Tuned in after the game and couldn’t hear a thing…I was ON CAMPUS! Awful.

Did I read the tower is close to Belmont Abbey? Because I was in freakin Belmont - leaving the wedding reception to go home with about 10 mins left in the game and I all I could get was static. Not good…

This is AM radio at night. WBT has the rights to jack their signal up at night, and have since they opened in the '20s. The result is that all the other AM stations in the whole region have to turn their signals down to nothing. It’s the nature of the beast. If you want to have the signal reach everyone in the region at night then you have to get it on an FM station or WBT. Otherwise our best choice for University area coverage is to pick up an AM station actually near UCity.

I am aware of this - but if the tower is in Belmont and I can’t pick them up IN BELMONT then they need a big hamster running on their little wheel.
