Franklin TV: Live Sports Radio

Coming to you from Tsongas Arena.

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 03/24/2024

Last week we were not allowed to cover the State Roundball Finals because we were blacked out by the NFHS network. https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/

We cablecast and live-stream as many Franklin games as possible. All for free. NFHS live-streams the big high school sporting events – for a subscriber fee.

For those of you who missed it, this week:

Sunday, 7:30 pm FHS Boys Varsity Basketball State Finals 03-17-24

Monday, 7:00 pm FHS Boys Varsity Basketball State Finals 03-17-24

Thursday 10:00 am FHS Boys Varsity Basketball State Finals 03-17-24

That said, we’re hoping to come to some accommodation with NFHS in the future.

Franklin TV:  Live Sports Radio

We did cover the game live on Franklin Public Radio as an ‘experimental’ ‘B’ plan. Lots of laptop computers were involved to broadcast the event – as a Zoom meeting. Our sports guys, Jay Horrigan and Pete Royce were at the mic in Tsongas. I was at home as the Zoom host. Another laptop at our wfpr transmitter site was ‘listening’. The whole enchilada was connected up by still more remote computers.

It Takes a Village – of Computers.

Thanks for listening to 102.9 wfpr●fm. 

And – as always – thanks for watching.

Be sure to tune in between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm to catch the discussion. During the 12:30 segment, Victoria will be delving into the world of chocolate with Jim and Margery, shining a spotlight on local chocolate artisans. Among the delectable treats under discussion will be Wright Old School Chocolate (WOSC). Comments that distinguish WOSC may include: WOSC crafts vegan-friendly, allergen-free chocolate using only two ingredients: fairtrade cacao and unrefined sugar (even the sugar used in our chocolate doesn't undergo the bone black purification process commonly found in white sugar, ensuring it's truly vegan-friendly). Far from your average chocolate bar, WOSC represents an opportunity to support agrobiodiversity, ethical sourcing practices, and a local business. Curious about the chocolate-making process? WOSC invites you to embark on a behind-the-scenes tour, where you can witness the journey from bean to bar while sampling along the way. Ready to treat yourself? Ordering your guilt-free, gluten-free chocolate is a breeze with my user-friendly website. Simply visit www.WrightOldSchoolChocolate.com to place your order and indulge in chocolate that not only tastes good but does good too.

Except for the music programs, the wfpr.fm radio shows all have a podcast version so you can listen when you want.

More Perfect Union is scheduled for airplay on Monday's but with your favorite podcast player, you can listen anytime. The three most recent episode are listed here:

Who listens to podcasts vs. radio? Edison Research has the answer

Via Edison Research 

"We are regularly asked about the ‘median age’ of users to different audio platforms.  Fortunately, with Edison Research’s Share of Ear® study we can answer this question – at least for those age 13 and older.   

But there are two ways to solve for this, and the differences are interesting. 

The two ways are represented in the table below.  In the first data column you see the median age for the ‘cume’ or ‘reach’ of the 13+ audience – the point where half the listeners are older and half are younger.  You will note that Streaming Audio (essentially listening to pureplays like Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and the like – but not listening to podcasts on any of these platforms) and Podcasts have the exact same median age when looked at this way.  The median listener to AM/FM Radio is 46 years old — 12 years older than the listener to streaming and podcasts. "
