BATB Podcast Announcement Part Two -- Live From...!

Here is the second part of the announcement concerning the Boxing Along The Beltway podcast heard on Spreaker.com and now on IHeartRadio.com.

IHeartRadio's selection of the BATB Podcast has opened a lot of doors.  The Spreaker plan I was using was costing me 39 dollars a year with the opportunity to broadcast live for 45 minutes at a time.

Now, because of the IHeartRadio connection, I have been automatically upgraded to the ultimate plan -- that normally costs $119.99 a month -- for FREE!  Included in that plan is the ability to create unlimited live broadcasts, although there is a limit of five hours in order for the broadcast to be archived on Spreaker and later heard on IHeartRadio.

And that leads to the meat of this announcement: Depending on the internet capability of each arena we go to, and with the approval of the promoters, BATB plans to bring you live blow-by-blow audio broadcasts of pro boxing cards throughout the area!
We will test this new feature on Saturday, September 7 from the "Rumble at Rosecroft" at Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, MD.

For this test run, we plan to bring you three bouts from the card: the main event between "The Real Deal" Phil Jackson Benson and Scott "Cujo" Sigmon, the co-feature of Alantez "SlyAza" Fox and Zain "Tiger" Shah and the bout between Mike "Yes Indeed" Reed and Rameses Gil.  The broadcast will begin at 9 PM ET on Spreaker.com.  There will be a delayed broadcast on IHeartRadio.  Calling the action will be myself, "The Fight Doctor" Jerome Spears and Juan Marshall.  This will be a FREE audio broadcast.  All you do is click on the link and you can join us.

There is a twofold reason for bringing just three bouts for this first broadcast:
 One:  This is a pilot and I want to make sure it will be feasible to do more in the future as far as sound quality is concerned.

Two: I will be coming from RFK Stadium where I will be the public address announcer for the Nation's Football Classic between Howard University and Morehouse College.  The game doesn't start until 3:30 PM and I wasn't completely sure that I would make it on time for the start of the card (7:30 PM), so I decided to play it safe. If this broadcast works out, I do plan to bring entire cards live, although the five-hour time frame for archiving the broadcast could be a minor issue.

The BATB Post-Fight Wrap-Up Show, normally a self-contained show, will be a part of the live broadcast, time permitting.

So that's the announcement and I am really excited about it! This is something I've wanted to do for a long time.  If you can't make it live to Rosecroft on Saturday, September 7, we invite you to join us right here live starting at 9 PM ET.  Here is the link:
