Milwaukee Brewers and WTMJ are getting into the future. One of the more annoying things about the radio broadcast is you had to have a radio to listen to. Not any longer. If you live in the six Milwaukee counties, you will be able to listen to the Brewers’ game through the WTMJ app or on the WTMJ website. The radio station calls the deal a ‘first of its kind’ and let me tell you this is awesome news for all Brewers’ fans.

Exciting news for Brewers fans in southeast Wisconsin! If you live in one of a handful of counties around Milwaukee you will be able to stream Brewers games on your phone! Details below:https://t.co/L4wF8u7Y86

There are a few situations where I’ve been in a situation where a radio would have been nice to have. One being at work. Now, who knows when I’ll go back to the office, but with the vaccine rolling out at a rapid rate, my guess is the middle of summer. If that’s the case, it will be nice to have the app or online to listen to Crew at the office. Another situation is an early evening dog walk where you can put the sweet sounds of Uecker. Or just sitting out on the porch enjoying the game because the weather is nice.

Another thing this does is it gives the cord-cutters a chance to at least get the radio portion. Who knows if this is a prelude to the Brewers doing their own thing in that category. I would also tell cord-cutters to find someone with cable, and your streaming life will become easier. Just a pain in the ass to navigate through the apps. If you’re a fan outside these metro areas, MLB Gameday audio is $20 for the full year. I had it for a while, and it’s a great investment. You get all the broadcasts, home or away.

Cannot wait for Opening Day next Thursday.
