Dialed In: How to Catch the Chicago Bears on the Radio
Die-hard Bears fan? Itchin' for some play-by-play action but stuck at home without a TV? Fear not, fellow supporter, because this trusty guide will have you dialed in to the game in no time!
Scouting the Radio Waves: Where to Find the Bears
Finding the Chicago Bears on the radio might seem like a daunting task, especially compared to the glory days of Mike Ditka. But fret not, for the game is always broadcast on:
- WBBM 780 AM & 105.9 FM: The official Bears radio station, featuring the legendary duo of Jeff Joniak and Tom Thayer calling the game.
Bonus stations to try (if WBBM ain't working):
- 670 The Score: Chicago's go-to sports radio station, they'll definitely have Bears talk and might even carry the game.
- 590 The Fan: Another sports radio station in Chicago, you might find pre-game or post-game coverage here.
- WGN Radio: While not exclusively sports radio, WGN has been known to carry Bears games in the past.
Pro Tip: If you're feeling fancy (or outside of the Chicago area), you can also subscribe to SiriusXM and listen to the Bears broadcast there.
Once You're Tuned In:
Now that you're dialed in, settle back, grab your favorite Bears jersey (or Ditka mustache), and get ready for an exciting game! With a little radio magic, you'll be chanting "Go Bears" right along with the rest of the Windy City.
Remember:
- Bears games are blacked out in the local market if they are televised, so you might not be able to listen on the radio if the game is also on TV locally.
- These stations primarily broadcast in the Chicago area, so you might need to check online for stations further afield.
So there you have it, folks! With a little know-how, you'll be a radio whiz and a Bears superfan in no time. Now get out there and support your team!
