Internet Broadcasts

[baseballmom28]

What is the deal with the internet broadcasts? Edinburg, the number one team in the league isn't broadcasting. Website says "technical difficulties". That's been like that for over a week. I call everyday and they say it will be up that day, or call back in 30 minutes, they are working on it....lots of problems with this leagues' broadcasting. Are they not paying for the air time, or what?

[Thorp]

Edingburg had the same issues when the All Star game was played at their field. You would think that they would have had the internet up for that game. Have they had internet access this season?

[baseballmom28]

Their website has a link to "Listen Live" and I believe it has been up for some games. I don't know how the league expects to draw players next year when this years' players have been virtually impossible to follow.

[BroncoBill]

You can hear Broncos games on www.xek.com.mx Most games are broadcasat in English except for now and then on the road which are Spanish broadcasts.

Turned on the internet to listen to the Dillas and Colts game tonight and you couldn't get anything but static,I just turned it off. Is anyone else having this problem?

[Kgriff Fan]

YES! I have been frustrated by this all season. I tried to listen to the Dillas/Colts games this week and couldn't even access the game even though I was able to earlier in the season (through the Colts website since Dillas don't have internet broadcast of their games). I contacted KCLL Cool 100 who broadcast the games and they said nothing was wrong, so I contacted Sportsjuice.com which is the company that streams the internet broadcast and they told me nothing has changed and the problem was with me! The only team that I NEVER had a problem with is Laredo and their station is in Mexico.

This is very, very frustrating for those of us who live outside Texas and want to follow the games.

[Thorp]

I travel across a number of states,but I was in Texas last night and couldn't get anything but static. The weather was clear. What's up?

[Thorp]

Website up and running well tonight.

[Thorp]

Had to turn off the website tonight,too much static. Why is it so hard to get good reception?

[Kgriff Fan]

I tuned into the Alexandria broadcast of the Whitewings/Aces (since Whitewings have no broadcast). I tuned in too late for the game, but did pick up the stations regular broadcast and it sounded o.k. I'm not sure what's going on, but in my experience it is hit or miss...

[Kgriff Fan]

The games between the Whitewings and Aces can be heard clearly on the internet through the Alexandria Aces radio broadcast. It is finally working (or at lease this week). That brings to 2 the number of teams with working internet broadcast (Laredo, Alexandria).

[Thorp]

Colts internet cannot be heard. Nothing but static.

[Kgriff Fan]

I was told by both the Colts and Sports Juice (which handles the internet broadcast) that there are no problems on their end and the trouble is with my set up. I guess they don't want anyone to listen. Go figure...

[Ervin]

I used to have problems, but when I go to the Colts website and click on the radio link, it seems to work fine. When I used to click on at Sportsjuice I always had that static problem. Now if they are one in the same I will feel like a fool, but this is the only way I can enjoy listening to the game with any success. Also on Colts broadcasts I think Ira Liebman does an outstanding job...any thoughts?

[Kgriff Fan]

I agree. At the beginning of the season I could get the Colts and Ira did a great job.

[Thorp]

Website was up and running smoother than ever. The problem was not with your set up. Many people were having issues with the static. I tried Sportsjuice,but they are also connected to the radio station.

[RABID FAN]

I reaaly enjoyed listening to the Laredo annoucer recently. A very professional delivery. Other annoucers I've listened to in this league can make it hard to follow the game. This guy could announce for a Major league team. Great job.

[Thorp]

Where did you find a place to click on the Laredo website so we can listen to the game tonight.....?

[Thorp]

The Colts website is down. Nothing but static. I tried Sportsjuice.com and got the same. Seems that no one can get it together.

[Kgriff Fan]

For Laredo use this link....http://www.xek.com.mx/
It is the only one that has worked the whole season. Regarding the announcer for Laredo, I agree...he does a great job. So does their Spanish announcer.

Regarding San Angelo & Sportsjuice...same crap.

[Thorp]

Tried the Laredo site,but it's after 10:30. I'll try it tomorrow.

[RABID FAN]

The most frustrating thing for a devoted fan of the league is not being able to listen to the games. Also , I wanted to buy some team gear, but some web sites have said 'come back later' since the beginning of the season. Still can't buy what I want easily on line.This can't be good for business. Please get it together.

[Thorp]

Internet up or down tonight?

[Thorp]

No luck on the Colts site.I've tried the Laredo site,not getting it either. Any suggestions?

[RABID FAN]

I've changed the internet web browser I use[toggle between programs] and some broadcasts might come in [sometimes on and off]. It's worked more than once. Good luck.

[AmarilloDillaBabe2006]

Sometimes during the Dillas broadcasts, it blips out, but it usually comes back after a little while. But otherwise, I haven't heard too much about that.

[Thorp]

Internet came in great.

[laredobroncos]

last night , we had tech difficulties with the LAREDO broadcast, the radio tower in mexico went down and they were fixing it on Sunday.

but Joe Dominey got on with Ira of the Colts and did the game over their channel/webcast.

We should have radio on our upcoming 6 game road trip.

it will most probably be in Spanish and English.

Joe Dominey is our main announcer but on the road trips its either me (biligual broadcast) or Dillon Collier in English.

There is a link on our site to listen to the game.

Sorry about tonight but we did get on with the Colts.

Thanks!

Nothing to be sorry about...you guys are the only ones that work week in and week out!

P.S. The broadcast in Spanish has been educational for me. I've had to brush up on my Spanish and even started a mini-translation guide for baseball (primera= 1st, segunda=2nd, bola=ball, out=out, etc....). My wife is Puerto Rican so she helps me when you speak too fast for me. One night my wife wasn't home, so I was bouncing back and forth between the broadcast and free translation program on the internet...that was fun.

[Thorp]

Any reason why the internet works so well some nights and not other times?

thats funny. I dont speak spanish that well, its not educated but I think its ok for following a game. lol

I do say some words wrong and sometimes I get frustrated that I cant say a particular word but since our listeners are mexican who speak spanish, along with teh station actually being in the mexican side, spanish is a necessitiy. I think.

joe Dominey who does our games in English at home is Amazing and we are glad to have him do our games.

Some eople want the game in Spanish so this is a nice mix of it. I do update every half inning in english with what is going on

as well as do some in english when i know their family is listening.

Anyhow, thanks for the comments.

Sincerely
