ESPN radio FM 96.5 seeks Bradley radio broadcasts

[mike radigan]

I remember hearing nightime DJ Dick Biondi brag about being heard in 38 states on WLS!
But WLS is a clear-channel(no other radio stations allowed to use that frequency), 50,000 watt station, and there are only a handful of them in the entire country.

Dick Biondi, aka The Village I*d*i*o*t!

Now "clear-channel" AM stations with 50,000 watts are another category. (FCC designation that reserves your frequency on your half of the Mississippi)
I am certain that Chicago ESPN Radio (AM1000) can be clearly heard throughout Ohio+ more clearly than Peoria on most nights (It seems their antenna is "Tuned" to the east) Growing up in PA, my dad used to regularly pickup Chicago AM1000 with a decent antenna.

Now if the 96.5 deal could at least include 1 or 2 simulcasts on the Chicago AM1000...

I used to do a lot of traveling for work and can recall hearing am1000 into the far east side of Ohio. And can also recall not picking up 1470 after Lincoln and before Galesburg.

I pick up 1470 in galesburg often.

This station needs to put out more power so B.U. can be heard at least 1oo miles out; espn 1000 is hard to listen to in Peoria .

I don't know about anyone else, but I hope that this station can make it. 96.5 is all that I listen to anymore. I remember some years back when 1290 was sports talk radio. I really missed it while it was gone, but now i am constantly locked in on 96.5.

Just don't count on it to provide up-to the minute scores..

It was funny that after work on Wednesday, on 1470, I heard the Cubs won 12-1. A few minutes later, I switched to 96.5 and on the national sports update (had to be national because they led off with the Boston game, they said the Cubs were up by 4 in the 4th inning
