Downloadable Game Broadcasts?

by Norm Median on Nov 18, 2009 1:04 PM PST

Does anyone know where I can download archived KNBR broadcasts of Giants games? I have a couple 11+ hour flights coming up and would love to spend some of the time being soothed by the pleasing voice of Jon Miller. I've looked on iTunes and MLB's website, neither appear willing to sell them to me. Nothing else has come up in the various web searches I've tried.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I know you can stream from mlb.com, but that’s all I know.

The solution is

Pot Brownies
-or-
Space Cake

(it’s the only way to survive an 11hr flight)

Try John Miley—if he’s still in business

MLB.TV + screen record is your only option i think.

I once ran a line from the AM radio to the computer and recorded a game that way. It was a pain in the ass though, which may be why I never did it again!

I wonder why broadcasts aren’t even available for purchase? It seems a little ridiculous to me. You’d think it would be simple enough to make them available to the public and I’m sure it would generate a decent amount of revenue.

To me, this is almost as frustrating as the blackout restrictions.

There are some historic games that are available for download but not KNBR broadcasts.

"All I know is right now, you comeback and do you dwell on that? I think you're man enough to take it, you're man enough to chew on it, to spit it out and you learn from it. ... I think winners let it go. I think losers dwell on it and talk about it all week and that screws you up for the next opportunity going forward." - Mike Singletary after the 49ers loss to the Vikings

There’s gotta be a way to record archived Gameday Audio broadcasts. I’ll look into it (assuming I don’t forget within the hour).

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

Couldn’t a person use Download Helper if they have Firefox?

I'm not sure

I think I tried it once, but it didn’t work. I’ll check again.

Just remember I used Download Helper to save the condensed game of the Sanchez no-hitter (which I still have on my computer).

It's not easy

Besides, older games are more fun. I’ve got the entire 1954 World Series and the 3rd game of the 1951 National League playoff on my iPod.

Where did you get them? I’d be interested in listening to those as well.

it depends on age, if you ask me

WalrusMan thinks this as well.

Listening to the greatest moment in Giants history and the last World Series..

…is fun no matter what age you are.

oh, agreed

actually, what i was referencing to while we were on the subject of old, old games, is that stuff like the 1955 WS or 1966 WS would be something i wouldn’t bother watching
