Each year as WDWS gets back into its Illini sports broadcast season, we get several inquiries from listeners about why they hear silence when they try to stream the station on Saturdays. And each year we give the same reminder - WDWS CANNOT stream Illini sports. Learfield and the U of I, not WDWS, own the rights to the broadcasts, so they control how the broadcasts are distributed. Brian Barnhart and company may be WDWS employees, but during games they are Learfield employees.
However, you are not out of luck if you want to listen on a computer or mobile device.
