[nfbcs] MLB Gameday audio

Fri Apr 20 14:51:07 UTC 2012

I must admit that I prefer the app on my iPhone. It seems to work well, and I don't need to be on a computer. And yes, I know that not everyone has one. I still would like something that works at the back park. Milwaukee does have a live feed for the park, but they need bigger hamsters to power it.

LOL. I'm not going to say any names, but there seem to be certain major companies who are notorious for this with their software...

>>
>> Now go bak to the top of the page. If you start reading down the page,

>> There is no table for currently-playing games as there is on the

>> stand-alone player something like that in the Accessible GameDay

>> the accessible flash player will open in a new window and you can get
>> audio feeds that way also or TV feeds just as you did last year.
>>
>> The Accessible GameDay Audio page is much like it was last year except
>> that sometimes cookies persist so that, rather than logging in each
>> time, you look for a list item with one item which you will see as
>> your name, i.e., you will still be loged in. if you don't see this,
>> logging into the Accessible page is, I believe, just like last year.
>>
>> On the full Media Center page, there is a table of games -- but it's
>> *future* games. What sense this makes I haven't a clue.
>>
>> Lainey Feingold, an ACB legal eagle, has close ties with the MLB

>> beginning of the season but figured I tell her that although the

>>
>> So much for ACB giving MLB the Vernon Henley award last year!

>> I don't spose this makes much sense but hope it helps.
