A few days ago, I started hearing that 660AM WFAN out of New York City would be streaming live over the Internet soon, and as it turns out, it’s true. On Friday, I received an email from the station’s marketing deparment stating that the streaming would go live at 3pm on Tuesday, April 11, where the “Mike & The Mad Dog” show would be broadcast while the New York Mets game would be played over the actual airwaves. (Major League Baseball teams are a subscription-only service through David Singer’s favorite online stream, MLB.tv)
I’m psyched mostly that the “Imus in the Morning” show is going to be over the ‘net now, because my office location isn’t exactly getting me great AM reception, depriving me of my WFAN fix for the day. Considering it’s like one of the most widely-broadcast stations on the AM dial, this has some big implications. Now how many streams do you think they’ll make available? My bet is: not enough.
