You Got Giants Fever? Dial Up the Game on the Radio!
So, football season is upon us, and the glorious New York Giants are gearing up to take the field. You're pumped, ready to witness Eli Manning's... uh... successor sling lasers (or maybe some respectable checkdowns these days), but you're stuck at work, on a road trip, or dodging grandma's questionable fruitcake at a family gathering. Fear not, fellow Giants fanatic, because the dulcet tones of the radio broadcast can bring the gridiron action straight to your ears!
Tuning In To Big Blue on the Radio: Your Essential Guide
Let's face it, watching a game on TV is great, but there's a certain charm to old-school radio. You get the excitement of the announcers' calls, the thrill of imagining the action based on their descriptions (sometimes it's more exciting than what's actually happening on screen, anyway). Here's how to hook yourself up to the Giants' radio broadcast:
Dial Up the Dial: In the New York area, your go-to station is WFAN 101.9 FM/66 AM. That's right, folks, crank up the volume and get ready for the legendary voices of Bob Papa (play-by-play), Carl Banks (analysis), and Howard Cross (sidelines). They'll paint a vivid picture of the game, complete with Carl Banks' insightful commentary (or maybe some entertaining sideline rants, you never know).
Beyond the Big Apple: Don't despair, out-of-town Giants fans! Other stations around the country might carry the game. Check online resources or your local sports radio station's schedule to see if they're broadcasting Giants fever.
The Digital Age of Radio: Who needs a clunky old radio when you have a smartphone? These days, you can stream the WFAN broadcast (or potentially other stations carrying the game) through their respective apps. So, fire up your phone, pop in some earbuds, and become one with the game, wherever you may be.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling fancy, you can subscribe to SiriusXM and listen to the Giants broadcast there as well. Just sayin'.
