Question: Is there a mobile app for listening to Alabama radio broadcast?

[CrimsonNagus]

For football, basketball, softball, everything. I couldn't decide which forum to put this in but, figured the football board gets more traffic.

I'm looking for a mobile app that simulcast the Crimson Tide Sports Network broadcasts. Also would prefer a free option.

I had been using the Tide 100.9 FM 1230 AM app but, it only plays nonstop commercials during games now. It had been working until earlier this year.

Anyone know of any options?

TuneIn Radio has the games. May not be free. I think ESPN is 93.9 in Florence.
Alabama Football

I use the Varsity app, but have only done football + men's basketball

The "best-timed" way I've found to listen is actually through the YouTube feed on the CTSN page. They do home and away football games and this season I think they only did home basketball games. For whatever reason, it was really simple to sync the TV feed while listening to the YouTube radio feed (via my phone thru a speaker)

We need a Tidefans App.

This looks perfect and it is a Learfield owned app so rights issues should not be as much of an issue as with other apps, like the one I was using (I assume they lost the rights to stream the games or never really had them in the first place). It even supports CarPlay which will make it easier to use in the car!

I listen to the games on the Tide 100.9 App

I listen to the games on the Tide 100.9 App View attachment 49805

Yes, that is the app I have used for a few years (link in the first post) but, it stopped working for me in late January, early February. Just plays nothing but commercials, over and over and over, when the games should be on.

Does it still work for you?

There's also many times a live facebook broadcast cam from courtside showing Chris & Brian doing the broadcasts in hoops just like Chris & Tyler do in football. Search for Crimson Tide Sports Network in facebook. Trying to sync up and keep synced the actual TV broadcast video and the facebook live broadcast is a *challenge*

The varsity app is pretty good, too.

Yes, that's it. Black icon with a white circle/black V (at least on iOS)

Here is an iOS link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/varsity-network/id1574519982

It’s a good app. I used it some yesterday listening to other games. Worked great in the car through CarPlay.

Is it a free service?

Appears to be free. It has not asked for any money so far. The app is from Learfield Communications, so I think it is just an added service for the stations they operate/co-operate like CTSN.
