I'm very much a trailing edge kinda guy than a leading edge technology guy. It is easier for me to chip an arrowhead out of stone than it is for me to know if I backed up my computer right. Radio has always worked for me and I am one of those 100 listeners. I hate to admit this, but I have no idea how to stream a hockey game on computer. I listen to Chuck on every road game, plus many home games too. It sucks that there's a delay between TV & radio, because I'd prefer to watch the game with Chuck's call. I really respect the job Chuck does because he's been there and seen it all for the entirety of this franchise. I appreciate the time he takes to answer listener's questions in Kaiton's Corner between the second and third periods as well.
My friend Mark is 100% visually impaired, and he loves Chuck's call. He gets annoyed when he is forced to listen to John and Tripp exclusively. Particularly when they do video replays. The TV call just doesn't work for radio, and it shouldn't be expected to.
As a kid, I used to try to pick up hockey games on the skip late at night with my transistor radio, especially on cloudy nights. I stashed my radio in the pillowcase under the pillow and listened through an earphone. I still do it most nights every bit of 50 years later, except my digital walkman isn't as sensitive as my old analog transistor was. Though there's less signal drift on the walkman.
