Audio of World Cup

[GoEagles]

Has anyone been trying to get live audio of the World Cup games? I know the abc.net.au covers the Australian games and the bbc.co.uk cover the England games, but what about the others?

Luckily I've found a website located here:
CaribSurf (http://www.caribsurf.com/cbc-asx.htm)

It covers most of the World Cup games, but can be hard to get onto as its getting quite popular.

If you know of any other website (wisden.com is another, but you have to register) post them up here!

Yes but registration is free at http://www.wisden.com/liveaudio/worldcup/

Still if you want to avoid registering, you can straight to the feed at mms://win40nj.audiovideoweb.com/avwebdsnjwinlive4040

BBC is also doing some coverage.

Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/ choose listen now and switch to Listen Live LW for match broadcast.

Also have a look at http://www.radio-now.co.uk/listen_world_cup_cricket_2003.htm

Due to popular demand, this thread will be a sticky for the next few weeks.

Went to the BBC site and had a look at some feedback area. Bloke was complaining about their broadcast only being to able to be received on a digital radio set and not normal radio. Costs plenty apparently. What is he on about?

Certain matches are only covered in Britain via digital radio, which hardly anyone has. Just looking at one of the sites has raised a question mark about online broadcasts being allowed at all

A marvellous idea GoEagles, really super stuff that!

I can't afford audio, and the rediff one is a bit slow updating.

Do you know a good site for just live scores?

[mellowyellow]

Try http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport/
