    I'm sure you're being clever but just in case, the Wheels play by play has been on 102.3 in the past but every year it feels like the FM simulcast is in jeopardy.

    I signed up for PlayStation Vue today so I'm ready for video.

    I'm thinking about Playstation Vue. Please let me know how it is. Do you have the ability to record and save for later with fast forward/rewind abilities, or is it a straight stream? Love to hear some feedback after the first game or two!

    I'll let you know! It looks like it'll "DVR" the last 30 minutes for rewind, and maaayyybeeee also let you replay recent content on demand too.

    102.3 isn't very good overall; they don't provide full fidelity (mono only, frequencies cut off at 11KHz) -- basically a very very well-transmitted AM station in sound quality. That's fine for my purposes, but Wheels sounds MUCH BETTER off the NBA app when you're on wi-fi (the sound quality sucks on cellular).
