BigNDfan Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I can't stand this station. I pray to God that the Sox get out of their contract with them. I miss every single Sox game on this station because I don't live in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDsDirtySox Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Where do you live... The White Sox and The Score have other radio affiliates in Illinois that carry the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldmember Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 can't catch games when on ciu either. not big on listening to games on radio, either, unless i'm travelling, for some odd reason. station has a weird, annoying ring to it anyway when i try listening on the radio in my room...

Kalapse Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I still don't get that damn WCIU HD channel though I did get ESPN2HD today which was awesome for World Cup action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinilaw08 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Yeah, seeing as how I will probably never leave Champaign (hopefully sarcastic) games on WCIU are very bothersome. And actually, the Score does not come in all that well on campus at the University of Illinois. Go a mile off campus in either direction and the station is great, but on campus it is very hit or miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I love WCIU. Only channel that I get that's really clear on T.V. for me.. Of course I'm probably the only backer of that station here since I do live in Chicago.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 01:05 AM) Yup, just came out today on Comcast... The odd thing is, the message showed up on the box at like 4 o'clock today though the channel showed up early in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I don't mind WCIU right now since they are the only damned station with what seems to be an accurate radar gun for pitch speeds.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamPabloOzuna Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Im on the campus of illinois state university and wscr comes in wonderfully...still no wciu down here compared to when im at home (elgin). Luckily, however, every game scheduled on wgn is shown on wgn superstation (unlike for the bulls, where not every game shown on wgn in chicago is carried on wgn superstation, only a select few).

The funny thing is when the broadcast started, DJ said "this game in HD on WCIU is brought to you by Comcast". Not in my area! Very stoked for ESPN2HD though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandy125 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I hate the U as well. These are the only games that I don't get. I usually end up listening to it over the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEWOOD Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 ESPN2HD has been on Comcast since last week, at least I had it last week. I noticed it Friday night when watching the CWS. I was scaning the channels for the sox game and noticed ESPN2HD on channel 203. Its about time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, long time poster at the other site, but I recently ran into a mod with a power trip. I'm the only one with the balls to call him out apparently, so he flipped? Not too sure, I'll find out in a month. The other place is my first choice, but it's nice to come here and be able to let loose. Anyways, WCIU sucks, but I have to say I dislike WGN more. How many times can you come back from commercial break with a 1-1 count?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Comcast as well and just checked 203 right after I read your post. Sure enough, ESPN2HD is there. The more HD the better. In my best Hawk voice...I love HDTV.

How many times can you come back from commercial break with a 1-1 count?! Just want to say welcome aboard. Secondly, if you think WCIU or WGN are bad, you'd have hated to be watching the Texas feed on xtra innings today, most of the time it was 1-2 (if not all of the time) by the time the game came back on. Still, you guys are lucky since you have HD. It sucks for fans out where I am, we live in a huge market (LA market) yet none of the teams have HD broadcasts (Lakers, Dodgers, Clippers, Kings, Ducks, Angels....NONE).
