You have to pay to get Mixlr
The Athletics Web Site does not mention if the games will still be on WRMS, WJEQ, and WMQZ as they have been in past years.
This seems like a big step backward.
From what I see here, Macomb does not have ANY radio station that reaches out more than 12 miles. That is crazy. Times have changed I guess. I can remember listening to Larry Derry on WKAI in my home town of Alexis (about 45 miles north) way back in the day.
You have to pay to broadcast using Mixlr. It doesn't look like you need to pay to listen to Mixlr though (I was just able to listen to a station out of Jamaica for free: https://mixlr.com/suncity-1049fm). I haven't downloaded it yet, but it looks like the Mixlr app is free to download (on iOS, at least) and you only need to register to listen. If you want to be able to broadcast live, you need a paid account though.
The numbers under Dist./Signal are showing the distance from the location you put in to the transmitter. That's why it's showing such small numbers for the Macomb stations. Like, the center of Macomb is 2.3 miles from the WIUM broadcast tower, which is actually located just a bit south of town.sealhall74 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 15, 2020 11:12 am From what I see here, Macomb does not have ANY radio station that reaches out more than 12 miles.

My bad for misinterpreting the data. Now that that is straightened out, Danielle needs to work things out with WJEQ to get the games broadcast on that station in the future. And just who is this fellow named Fletcher Ford who owns that station and a few others.ST_Lawson wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 8:14 amThe numbers under Dist./Signal are showing the distance from the location you put in to the transmitter.

If you look at WJEQ, it says 4.3 miles, because the tower is down US67 a few miles towards Industry. But WJEQ is a 10,000 watt station that you can pick up pretty easily most days as far as Galesburg, Beardstown, Canton, or Burlington, and on good days, as far as Quincy, Jacksonville, Peoria, or Aledo.
