680 The Fan

Luckily, I have a profession where I can work with headphones in all day. I choose to listen to 680 the fan because I’m a huge Braves fan. 680’s coverage of Braves baseball is second to none. Cellini, Dimino, Chuck, & Chernoff all do an excellent job. I don’t really listen to the locker room and I catch a little bit of the Buck Belue show sometimes but I’m an Alabama fan so I’m not really into all the Georgia football coverage. They all still do a great job providing sports content and being hilarious at the same time. The only problems with the app is I have a hard time getting it to load at times. Sometimes it will cut off randomly. Sometimes it’ll start playing and then when my screen goes black from inactivity, it kills the sound to the app. That’s the only real issues is getting it to play at times. Other than that, very solid. Pretty much the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Need an app for Roku so I can watch Cellini and Dimino on my tv.

We liked listening to the Atlanta Braves baseball games on the radio, living here near Atlanta, Georgia. The signal where we are was not always clear depending on the weather, antenna orientation and factors like that. When we found that 680 the Fan had a website, we often began listening to the game live that way, however, at every commercial break, it seemed that the sound would stop, and we had to hit the play again, over and over to keep the games on. Then, we discovered this App and loaded it! WOW!! It works perfectly! We can now listen to the Braves no matter where we are, in any city or out in the country! It’s great!

It’s a great idea and I would like to say how much I use it cause of work and travel but I can’t because of the extra ads that the app needs to have apparently. I’m not listing to the radio for every 2 minutes to have an extra ad played for 30 minutes then come back to the radio station and then 5 minutes later get another. What’s the point of saying it’s the radio if you can’t listen to it in it’s entirety. I’ve only managed to listen to a 15 minute segment a couple of times and then I just have to wait for it to be podcast to hear everything. If you want ads great but do them the same time the commercials of the station are going don’t ruin the experience cause you want more money such a stupid idea. Tried to listen to the Braves game at work and during the game got cut off of the broadcast for an ad one minute later same thing. I’m better off deleting till they change it up or change providers. An ad at the beginning or during actual commercial breaks is fine but covering content is just sad and dumb
