Radio at the Ralph

[Fetch]

I like listening to Hennesy give play by play. But radio is hit & miss & frustrating 

I've tried Iheart radio but WiFi is not great either & if u do get it it is so behind that it is not worth it

U would think this could be Improved ? ? ?

& u hardly ever hear much advertising for Hennesey & radio coverage - gave my 10 yr old grandson a small am/fm radio last yr after he tried mine - he loves it & sits quietly & really gets in to it

Sure wish the Ralph & the radio people could put a real effort in improving it - I can't help but wonder if they know or care about folks inside the arena ?

I thought inside Ralph was on slightly different frequency like 95.9???

[Fetch]

Yeah u have to try that & others around there -  I do think the FM feed inside the Ralph is not good.

[Fetch]

Can Iheart do anything to be live - The WiFi is strange inside the Ralph & sure not very good

I have not bought their goofy app. It's not real creative or interesting

During games, a Verizon truck parks outside to increase cell and data coverage.

Buy a better radio with a larger antenna.

Streaming audio over the internet will always be delayed. The less reliable the internet connection the more delay. I've had good luck with a dirt cheap fm radio picking up the in-house station.

This one is simple and has worked well for me at The Ralph.  I don't think it's 95.9 anymore, I think another station in town had a translator too close to it.  I think it's 96.2 or 96.3 now, and I haven't had any issues when I've used it.

The only radio I could find in town was at Target in sporting goods it is a digital radio for jogging - I may have to go online but mine & my grandsons seem to not get a clear strong signal - u can barely hear it on full volume - outside they both work great

I have a smartphone with an FM radio built into it. (My earbuds serve as the antenna.) 
Never a reception issue in the arena.

96.5 FM is the in-arena feed and there is no delay as it re-transmits 96.1 FM simultaneously

Only works with certain phones from my understanding. Never had one compatible yet.

Most phones have the FM chip in them, but not activated. And most require you use headphones as it uses the wire as the FM antenna.

See if your current phone has the chip that can be activated:

PS - If you're running a phone with Windows Mobile 8.1 as the OS you already have FM Radio.
