    I sent yet another email to 610 to request streaming and telling them how it sucks that they don't and how 790 is lightyears ahead because of that ... Here is the response I got back ...

    Joshua,

    Thanks for the e-mail.

    Are you sitting down? Infinity has changed its policy and we are working on getting live streaming going. We are targeting late May for the launch.

    Great news. Good job.

    I wonder how they'll handle fees, and if the JR show will be streamed as well.

    I remember Chance posting the following message in a thread last week:

    051505

    So, I'm guessing that they'll begin streaming on May 15th.

    EDIT: Nevermind, I see Chance deleted that message and said at earliest it would June 1.

    For some reason, I thought I remember 610 streaming several years ago when I actually lived in the Houston area. I was thinking it only got shut off due to Infinity policy, meaning that it shouldn't be too big of a deal to get it going again. I might be wrong though.

    As an out of towner, I am just happy to know that I'll be able to get some Houston sports radio in the near future. I'm able to catch a little of Charlie on 790, but until they get more local programming, 790s streaming capability will be overshadowed by 610.
