Tune In Radio
I'm just curious if anybody listens to Drexel MBB games on the Tune In app? It worked great last year. This year, Drexel's games on listed on the app, but both times I tried to use it this year, there was no sound.

I like it because it's the only way that I can listen to the games in my car via Bluetooth. If Drexel is too cheap to broadcast games on the radio, this is the best alternative.

I used it last year - worked well. Haven't tried yet this year, but will have to tonight as I'll be on the road around 6 pm.

Did you have any luck? Once again, I tried it in the car tonight. The game is listed, and the text "Drexel Dragons" even shows up on my car's radio, via bluetooth, but there's no sound. Does anyone know who is in charge of broadcast communications in Drexel Athletics to let them know? I assume that they're paying for it via their agreement with Learfield, but it's a waste of money if it's not working.

RE: Tune In Radio
Is this related to Stretch Internet? If so (and perhaps even if not) contact the help. During yesterday when the feed was messed up, I eventually sent a request to their help, and someone fixed it within 5 minutes of the request.

I don't think Tune In Radio has any relationship with Stretch Internet. The audio on Stretch has been sketchy, but it's worked. My understanding is that in Drexel's marketing relationship with Learfield, Drexel offers their radio feed to Tune In Radio so that fans have an easy way to listen to the game. It worked great last year, but I tried it for 4 different games this year. Each time it starts out with a 20 second Amazon commercial to test that the connection is working, but then after the commercial, there's no sound.

I've always been a big fan of terrestrial radio broadcasts, and was very disappointed when Drexel discontinued them. I like to be able to listen to Drexel games when I'm driving, since I can't revolve my life to be home for ever game. It used to be a pain in the ass to listen to games through my phone, but the Tune In App provided the best alternative until it stopped working this year.

Last year UNCWs terrestrial station blacked out the games on the Tune In app. This year the station we are on is not on Tune In

I tried it and it didn't work. Going through the process reminded me that last year, the games were broadcast on WKDU. That's how we got the radio broadcast. WKDU is still on tune-in, but they aren't broadcasting games this year.

The Drexel Sports Network channel on Tune in was blank for me also.
