Attention Cubs fans from Southern Illinois! Help!

I am driving down to St. Louis area tonight for business and will be in the car after the game begins.

How far south of Chicago does WGN720 work? Peoria, further south?

What other radio station close to St. Louis will be playing the game on the radio tonight?

Help!

ESPN

Isn't ESPN radio having a nationwide broadcast of all of the games? I don't know what the call letters or frequencies would be, but you could probably find out on ESPN.com. I have family in Harrisburg, and driving down listening to Cubs games with a good radio, I've had reception on AM720 as far south as Effingham. Once, the atmospheric conditions were just right and I had reception all the way to our fishing camp between Golconda and Bay City.

Consider about 250 miles will get you good recept

and then at night depending on the atmosphere it can go out to 400 or so miles.

i live in

the illinois side about 20 minutes from stl... i listen to 720 all the time down here in my car, at night it comes in much clearer so you should be fine this evening for listening to the game... have a safe trip.

Once you to get to around Peoria,

you can get ESPN on 96.5

I usually listento Cubs games on 1290am, but I think they change their signal at night. I don't get near as good of reception after 6 or 7 int he evening.

fly your W flag Cubs fans!
