How do you watch or listen to Cards games?

What about Suns games, etc...

What are the good sports radio stations?

Preseason Cards games are always a mystery. Jumping from local channel to channel every year. THis year were in the dark though. No live cable that I'm aware of. Of course reg season is just like Phx. I couldnt find a live feed on the radio either. And radio here is as much as a mystery as preseason tv. Every year a different station.
As for sports radio theres not not much, 1400 am and some other am that picks up occasional games.
WE do have very good Suns coverage though. WE see many home games here. Although with my cable Co shuffling its lineup recently WEell have to wait and see about this season.
All in all we're in the hinterlands down herre.

Last year I had a long talk with the programmer for KOLD 13 our CBS station on why the Cards games are blacked out when we are clearly beyond the 75 mile radius for blackouts and he said that it was the Cardinals who extended the blackout radius to include the Tucson area because of the EASY ACCESS to SDS(1 1/2 hour drive).It was also the same reason for KMSB 11 our Fox station.KTKT 990AM will broadcast the Cards regular season.As for the Suns,if you live in the northwest side you can pick up KTAR clearly.1290 is a good sports radio station.

Cards road games will be on Fox channel 11, just like they would be in Phoenix (different channel number though). Suns home games we get, because they're on Fox Sports Net. Suns road games we dont' get unless they are a national broadcast, because they are carried by the UPN in PHX, which we dont' have.

Unless you have Comcast cable,since Cox cable is in Phoenix they show the games on FSN.but the Suns wanted a user fee to show them thru Comcast and Comcast did not want to raise there fee to all subscribers for the few who will want it. It was about $35,000

Yeah, but I think Arthur is in the doorm, and they use a Cox-type cable service.

Really, you get the NFL Network? That's awesome, a shame the channel wasn't around when I lived in the dorms, all of 2 years ago!
