Online radio situation

[pantherjoe]

So I'm a UNI fan that is out of the market, in Seattle. I would like to listen or watch the NDSU/ISU game. I'm starved for football and ISU is from my state and NDSU my conference so I'm interested to see how it goes. What is the cheapest way to listen to/watch the game?

Thanks in advance.

You can watch the game on cyclones.com for like 9.95

 

[pantherjoe]

Not sure if Im willing to drop 10 bucks. I am a poor student. Thanks though.

Anything cheaper......or freer?

If you have Sirius they broadcast all the games.

i was thinkin doesn't yahoo broadcast games?

 

[LutherClone]

1650 The Fan (KXNO Cedar Falls) Usually carries the Cyclones.... you can "listen live" from their site.

 

[pantherjoe]

I'll see if that works.

I have XM unfortunately, not Serius.

Im thinking about updating my XM subscription to include the "best of Sirius" which will include all of the Sirius sports programming including their college games and NFL games. Are all of Iowa States games on Sirius?

Also, Im having trouble finding this info, and I know none of you want to hear it, but do any of you know if Iowa is on Sirius or XM or either?

Thanks for any help.

All Iowa State games are on Sirius. Iowa games are on Sirius only if they are playing against a team that partners with Sirius.

Iowa State just had a release on cyclones.com about how they arent doing Yahoo anymore and they are doing themselves through the CLone Zone, which is smart IMO.

$4.95/month, and you can get the games over Yahoo.

Oh. I'd better check into this.

I have XM and it has Big XII channels. I didn't upgrade. Scroll through to see if they're there.

Looks like the link on cyclones.com for subscription radio now takes you to the upcoming schedule for clone zone instead of to yahoo. Good news since I'm not in the area for radio and am too cheap for/don't care about sat radio.

Also, not sure if they had this before or not but you can get an audio only subscription for only $4.16/month....but then no video of NDSU game

 

[Wingback]

With Sirius and XM being one in the same now, I certainly would think you could get them on your XM radio. I know I got a ton of games on my Sirius last year. I'd do some channel surfing before I call for some kind of upgrade.

That's a surprise. I was planning on just heading over to yahoo to get their audio feed like I've done for the past several years (since moving out of state).

Who produces the clonezone game feed? Is it the same as the over the air broadcasts? Is the audio feed the lower bandwith audio version of their video feed?

Anyone? Anyone? Noonan?

The feed will be coming directly from Learfield HQ, just like with Yahoo. Same version that's on the air, minus local commercials.

Got some more info from the athletic office on this:
Basically the athletic dept had to step in at the last minute because learfield and yahoo couldn't come to an agreement. The downside though is that the audio content is a separate subscription from the video subscription. So if you want video of the NDSU game and live audio of all the other games you have to pay $8.95 for the video package to see NDSU AND pay $5.95/month for the audio-only package.
AD office acknowledges it is a huge disservice to fans but they felt right now they just had to come up with some option for fans or we wouldn't have anything. Hopefully next year audio and video will be combined under one package at a lower rate

I'd say it's only smart if they have the bandwidth for it--as I recall, there were some problems with CloneZone last year during games. I'm pretty sure Yahoo has the bandwidth.
