    I might actually pay for that. Would definitely be interesting at least once.

    Problem is that XBand would be commentating musically through his trumpet.....and you'd have to decipher the words through the notes.

    So, was the question ever answered around why all games on 550, not the 700/550 split based on preference to our liitle brother across town?

    Why Are Games On 550 Not 700?

    Might it be for just that reason. No need to discern which channel, it's always 550?

    With radio streaming online, over the air signal strength isn't as important as net footprint.

    I want to initiate a petition to change X-Band's screen name to 'Cyclo.....as in Cyclopedia. He's a fountain of useful info, and is seldom in error.
    It's a still great day to be a Muskie, but a sad day to be a supporting member of this board.

    There's a song in there someplace.

    Tomorrow's game is listed on 700 WLW:

    Xavier Pregame Notes

    Sounds like Xavier is taking a backseat to UC athletics and the Bengals radio shows on WLW.

    Interesting. If you go to their full season schedule it still shows 55WKRC, as it does for every game.

    Miles Davis and Coltrane would take acid and try to play their trips. I'd pay for that if it's an option.
