infofan Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 THE EXTENDED AKRON ZIPS ISP SPORTS NETWORK: For about 20 minutes before college football kickoff on Saturday, the Akron Zips ISP Sports Network accidentally gained a station...and the Can't State Golden flushes ISP Sports Network lost its only station.from about 1 PM to 1:20 PM on Saturday, the Akron Zips' pre-game show feed was also airing on Media-Com talk WNIR/100.1 "The Talk of Akron", with Akron Sports Radio Icon/Superstar/Occasional OMW Reader Steve French being heard on the station which employs him (separately) as morning sports anchor.That, of course, would also mean that for the first 20 minutes, the pre-game show for the Can't State contest with Boston College was being heard by...only the people in the radio booth, and at ISP headquarters in Winston-Salem NC, as the one-station "Can't State ISP Sports Network" consists only of WNIR.Things were apparently fixed 20 minutes later. Both games kicked off later, at 2 PM. Too bad Can't fans couldnt keep listening to Akron football! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Speaking of radio and the Zips. I'll mention this because I did it. It doesn't apply to most, but if it helps one person so be it. I have an ipod touch that I use at the game to check scores of other games and get the zips stats LIVE since you can connect to wifi at the new stadium. Just another benefit of being "on campus."I figured out how to listen to the game through an app called Pocket Tunes, it's awesome in 10 different ways, I got Pocket Tunes because I have a Sirius subscription and I use it for that. But I have recently discovered you can pick up just about any local radio station by searching the city. So if your a Bengals fan and you want to listen to the game on Sunday just search "Cincinnati." Works for the Zips too. Unfortunately it's web delayed, but if you were just listening to get a description of an injury or penalty or a review it could work. Pretty cool for a sports fan for 6.99 on itunes.
