Live Broadcast Tonight from Monkton

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Update: 4:45pm PST/7:45pm EST – No luck getting the game here — yet. It’s listed on the radio station’s website as starting at 7:15pm EST, but the feed is country music at the moment. Will keep an eye on it, but I’m in the same boat as you.

Update 2: 5:00 pm PST No luck reaching anyone at the station via phone or email. The game is listed on their website. I give up. Let me know if you have any luck? jim (at) fastpitchwest.com

Update 3: 6:20pm PST – Just got word from the radio station that they had a technical glitch with the streaming audio, and that is why the music was playing instead. Hope to have resolved for the championship game which is scheduled to be broadcast. Keep an eye out for more info.

The opening night match-up between the Kitchener Hallman Twins and Saskatoon will be broadcast live on www.am920.ca. First pitch slated for 7:35pm Eastern time, 4:30pm for those of us on the West Coast. Adjust for your own time zone. Don’t miss this one !
