Starkville radio for MSU sports
- Thread starter onewoof
- Start date
They've been doing them for years, not sure why that says "New Radio Home". Early in the season French Camp almost always has them when nobody else does and usually so does 96.1 (at least in Starkville) because that's where we tune in the stadium.
Try the app Audacy and listen on 105.9 in Jackson, WRKS. I have done that before for basketball when i was out of state working.
No I didn't, I said 100.9 WKBB will not be carrying MSU sports after basketball ends. Going forward it will be on 96.1 for all sports.
I came up empty searching "wlza 96.1" on my Simple Radio app. I'll be right here with you bitching and searching on Friday if we don't figure it out by then.
^^^^^ This download the Tune In App and pay for the premium version and you can literally get state sports anywhere.
Audacy is free and has all the stations as well
I removed the TuneIn app a couple years ago due to blackouts &/ or refreshing issues. It, however, was not the Premium version. Hail State had the same refresh issues as well, but that was at least 5+ years ago. I'm assuming it's better now.
I am sure there are cheaper and better ways to listen to it. I have always had great luck with Tunein with no blackouts or any problems really. I am sure my experience is not typical however. The thing that sold me was me and Mrs. Devil in Turks and Caicos I was able to listen to state baseballs games that week on the beach. So in my mind for that reason it was really cool. I am probably a moron for paying for it though.
I just checked their website https://lazer961.com/ and was able to stream directly from both my computer and phone. Link to click on at top right of their webpage.
French camp dropped us bc learfield sports finally put their foot down and told them that they have to air the Pearl river resort casino commercials. French camp elected to drop us than play a casino commercial. Oh well, their loss!
THey are still showing on the MSU Baseball list of stations. (HailState)
So, I'll believe it, when I see it.
(And, early on, there are several games they do not broadcast, especially before league play.)

This is what I switched to after trying multiple ways to listen.
My guess here is that FCA might have lost their status as the “Flagship station for MSU” sports over the refusal to run the casino and alcohol ads. In layman’s terms, the flagship station serves a dual role. First, you have to air all games (why you could always depend on FCA to have a game on when no one else did). You also serve a backup role for other stations having satellite receiver issues. In order to hold steady to their moral obligations, I’m pretty sure they gave up the flagship role. I will say that MSU sports is a huge revenue engine for FCA and I would be surprised if they totally give it up.
