Do you get Broncos flagship 850 KOA on your radio? - The Orange Mane

Bronco LB 59 · 12-01-2005, 08:42 PM

Broncos flagship 850 KOA has to be one of the strongest radio stations in the country! I live here in San Diego and KOA comes in clear every night on both my car and home radio. KOA's signal is stronger than the local ESPN radio station.

I was wondering how many of you fellow non-Colorado Broncomaniacs can hear KOA on your old fashioned radios?

Just three weeks ago, I was able to listen to the Broncos postgame show from Oakland, California at my ride after the Raiders game. I have been listening to Broncos postgame shows since the early 90s thanks to that high watt station. I wouldn't be suprised if there are extraterrestrials who are Broncomaniacs!

I live in Southern Cal, namely Los Angeles, and there are many instances when I have heard KOA 850 on my car radio.

Nonetheless, games aren't played at night and I still listen to the "eight-minute delay" "live" KOA 850 broadcast on the Game Day Experience from DenverBroncos.com during game times.

I get KOA here in DC...I love that KOA keeps the game feeds up. I like listening to Logan and Diaz-Infante rather than some of the tools they have on CBS or even fox. Of course, it's fun when Phil Simms is calling the game...If there ever was a bronco homer in the media, it's phil freakin' Simms.

On a clear evening, I can pick up KOA. It's interesting you mentioned that. As a kid growing up in Wichita, about 2 hours south of here, I could pick up KOA fairly clearly. That's how I became addicted to the Broncos in the first place...

Interesting...I've always thought Simms "a Homer Broncofan" but I've seen posts here recently saying just the opposite.

I've heard KOA all the way from Tucson, AZ to Oakland to the Oklahoma panhandle

Too bad it freaks out on gameday during the game.
I haven't had very good luck with it on the net....cuts out all the time.

OrangeShadow · 12-02-2005, 04:07 AM

it comes in horrible in mine

Mile High Shack · 12-02-2005, 05:56 AM

I can pick it up here in Oklahoma at night when it's clear

baja · 12-02-2005, 07:32 AM

Good thread 52!

I lived for a time in Ridgway Co. and KOA did not come in at my house so I would sometimes drive to a spot where I could listen to the KOA post game show.

Chief Red Pants · 12-02-2005, 08:21 AM

Do they stream Broncos games?

Old Dude · 12-02-2005, 08:26 AM

The 50,000 watt blowtorch comes in just fine 25 miles to the north.

Hammer · 12-02-2005, 08:27 AM

I cant hear it very well.

But that could be because I am here in NJ

I hate the delay! I'll have the local games on & I'll see an update or highlight on tv before I hear it on the radio.

I live in Wyoming , I dont get KOA .......I dont even get it near Rawlins or Rock Springs ........ I do around Cheyenne and Wheatland .......

bendog · 12-02-2005, 08:30 AM

Off topic, but I was driving back from Thanksgiving "lunch' during the first half of the Dallas game. I'd checked to get the station for the 'local' feed. I was cool, and prepared, to miss the game live. I had my vcr set.

I didn't know that the first 45 minutes of my drive would be alongside BIGASS STEEEL POWER Lines that gave me STATIC, and when I got home I found I'd taped the WEATHER channel and not the game.

4X5 most nights here in St. Louis, MO. I have Reserve duty down in Memphis this weekend so I will try to listen to the second half on the drive home.
