Green Bay Packers radio team to be heard only in Green Bay, Milwaukee |
Not everybody is included in the NFC championship party. Radio listeners in Green Bay and Milwaukee will be able to hear Wayne Larrivee and Larry McCarren call Sunday’s NFC championship game between the Packers and Bears in Chicago, but all other Green Bay Packers radio markets will be blacked out. Forty-seven stations throughout Wisconsin and portions of the Midwest are affected. By NFL rule, only each team’s flagship station can carry local broadcasts during the conference championships or Super Bowl, with the exception of the Packers. Because the Packers’ flagship station is in Milwaukee, broadcasts are allowed in the Milwaukee and Green Bay markets. In other Packers markets, stations will carry the Westwood One national feed with Kevin Harlan, Randy Cross and Mark Malone on the call. Sunday’s game, which starts at 2 p.m., will be carried in Green Bay on WTAQ, 1360 AM, WTAQ, 97.5 FM and WIXX, 101.1 FM, and in Milwaukee on WTMJ, 620 AM. The game will be televised by Fox, including Green Bay’s WLUK, Channel 11. How do you watch?Technology has changed some habits, including the ritual of watching the Packers. How do you watch games – with the TV sound off and the radio on? Or following Twitter feeds with every big play? Or on a huge flat-screen TV or a small black-and-white television that has been good luck? Let us know at wgerds@greenbaypressgazette.com Feel free to leave your comments below.
