WI Sports Radio - What do you stream to get your fix?

Thanks for this topic toad. Been wondering about this as well...

I have a Sports Radio 1250 Live app on my phone.  It's another option at least.

I have seen that and bookmarked it, but it seemed to me they are more nationally based.  Do they have local shows boxedup? What's it like?

I am digging into WDUZ.  It's 'the Fan' out of Green Bay.  Its hard to tell how much local coverage they have.... WDUZ 107.5 out of GB

I will let you know what I find out!

Edit: They definately have some live TC coverage! Its on right now (before 11 LFT)

WSSP isn't bad. The big show in the afternoon features Leroy Butler, Gil Brown at times, and Ellerson is tolerable. Sparky Pfiefer (sp?) gets on everyone's nerves but they will bring in reporters from the GBPG and have some decent inside info on TC and Packer practices. They will also stream live MM's press conferences. So if you're not in front of a lap top screen, you can still listen to MM.

WSSP 1250 has a good amount of local content - though its mostly Brewers right now.  I listen to the afternoon show on days when I get to sit in my office.  I haven't lived in Wisconsin since the Sports Talk Radio boom began, so hearing Packer focused shows is nice - but I wouldn't call their on-air talent the best I've ever heard.

The app itself works fine for me - though if you read the reviews, you'll see that some people have trouble with it crashing.  They also have on-demand content, but again, it's mostly Brewers shows right now.

I have to agree, it seem pretty good.  My biggest problem is I couldn't find where they listed a show schedule... they list the shows but not the schedule.  I don't mind the Bill  Micheals show and The Big show sounds interesting.  Work will go better today.

BTW, it seems the WDUZ switches to national programming @ 11am.  I will keep an eye/ear out to see if they have an afternoon show.

Thanks for the tips so far!

Wilde gets his air-time because he is close with many of the players... because he lobs softballs to them in their interviews.

Sirius XM is pretty decent for talk about the entire league

I am digging into WDUZ.  It's 'the Fan' out of Green Bay.  Its hard to tell how much local coverage they have.... WDUZ 107.5 out of GB

from 4p-6p that station has Chris Havel and usually Harry Sydney and once a week Sean Jones via telephone.  it's what I listen to on the ride home.  it's pretty good most of the time.  they also have Bill & Rookie in morning which is pretty good.

Ok all this has helped a bunch.

I think I will make a summary of shows, times, and information tomorrow.  One more day of.. errmm.. research and I should have decent information.  Of course more suggestions/comments are welcome!

I definately feel better overall about local WI sports talk radio now.

Ever consider podcasts?  In very basic terms it's like a twitter feed of audio.  If you have a smart phone you can subscribe to radio shows the same way you can follow reporters on twitter.  When you update all the latest shows will be there to peruse.   

packernet has a list of the feeds for all the packers shows (some of them are out of date, but most are good).

Great thing about podcasts is pretty much most of the commercials are cut out and most have a description of guests and topics.  If PTI and Around the Horn are talking baseball I don't even bother.  If there are interesting topics it only takes 22 minutes to listen to each one without the commercials.       

That time saved means I can listen to a lot more content in a day.  So instead of just having a stream of one packers station playing in the background (with 65 percent commercials and mind numbingly dumb callers), I can search out other podcasts and get a wider perspective from informed guests. 

There are so many podcasts out there now that it's easy to fill a day. John Madden has a daily one that's only about seven minutes long.   Start every day with it.  Rich Eisen has one.  Pro Football Focus owner is on the Prime Sports Network one,  Grantland has one,  ESPN has podcasts for most of their shows.  Outside the Lines,   Interviews from Mike and Mike in the morning.  Doug Farrar from Yahoo's shutdown corner has one.   

It's so much better than radio.  And it's still the golden age before the advertising  c***s get their hands on it, commercialize the piss out of it, and ruin it.

I fully agree with titmfatied's post.  To advance his post you can get podcasts of various sports reporters on the Packer's beat.  For example, not only can you get Wilde as listed above, but also there is an audiovault on Milwaukee 540 (ESPN) that daily segments his appearances on D-List and sometimes they get around to posting when he's on Homer and Thunder (hour 2 last 15 minutes).  That way during the day you get info early in the day, mid morning, and late afternoon.

I also follow Packers Talk Radio podcasts which are more hit and miss, but you can get interesting interviews on occasion like Wes Hod from the press gazette, or recently a former GM from the Broncos peddling a book and giving opinions. 

Less frequently you can Tyler Dunne and McGinn JSonline who are threatening a weekly podcast.  During the football season you can get Peter King as well.  I like his podcasts because of the people he gets to interview (Ted Thompson on 12/28/2011 for example).

WDUZ is pretty decent for Packers coverage but it should be as the main sports radio station out of Green Bay.   The Sean Jones weekly bit with Havel is outstanding.  Think that's Wednesday's around 5pm.  

1250 AM out of Milwaukee is OK as they usually feature a lot of Packers coverage as well.  I know they feature Wes Hodkiewicz from time to time and he's a beat writer for the Packers.  Heard him give an update from training camp on Monday.

I listen to WSSP The Big Show and whatever Packer content from Chuck and Wicket and the Big Unit is on podcast. Sometimes catch Rodgers show during season on Milw ESPN radio.

Podcasts are the only way to go. Wilde's feed has all sorts of good stuff and the Dunne/McGinn one from TMJ is also very good.

WDUZ has a lot of local programming, which is nice.  In a nutshell, here's what they have:

6am-11am - Bill and Rookie.  All local coverage.

11am-2pm - Jim Rome

2pm - 4pm - CBS Sports (can't remember who)

4pm-6pm - Local programming with Chris Havel

6pm - ?? CBS Sports

The station has gotten much better since they dumped the ESPN Radio Network.

Another local station to look at is WNFL - http://wnflam.com/

I live in SC, where can I listen to tonight's scrimmage?

Did you look here?

Sooo nice to hear the pregames again!

WDUZ is great in the morning, I switch to 1250 after 11, then misc after 1pm, Homer is ok on BSPN Milwaukee which starts @ 3.  Harry Sydny and stuff is great again @ 4 on WDUZ.

SOOOOO nice to not have to listen to the idots in the TC anymore!
