Right around kickoff of Saturday's game, I'll be driving from Athens to Cleveland. I know that I'll be in the radio network's coverage radius for the most part, but what do I need to do/have to get the game to play through my phone so I don't have to switch stations? I have a Nokia Windows phone.

Good choice.

I've had good luck with Tune In in the past.

Also, you should be able to stream the Stretch feed from Ohio Athletics by hitting http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/ohio.portal (again, this works on iOS, I haven't used Windows Phone, but it is a standard audio stream).

Trying Power 105 by going to http://www.athensi.com and clicking the WXTQ link in the right-hand rail, just as you would on a desktop yields a link to their own app on iOS, but it is obviously detecting your browser, so it might be worth trying to see what it does on your device.

I feel obligated, too,  to remind you to plug the phone into the charger.

I listen to pandora on the phone all the time; pair it with bluetooth and it plays thru the car stereo.

anyway... I *thought* it was plugged into the charger, but it was only pretending...

and after about an hour, it was dead, Dead, DEAD... and it took me nearly 10 minutes to get it going again.  The stupid phone won't boot itself without a teeny bit of a battery charge, and the wiggly/loose connector to the charger that caused the entire problem in the first place wouldn't really stay in place long enough to get that little bit of a charge.

I wound up pulling over at a truck stop and taping it all together with duct tape. No lie.  I wound up replacing the charger, but the silicone phone cover shed that duct tape adhesive with nary a mark.

So don't wake up in a ditch. Make sure it's got power; I wouldn't want you to miss 20 minutes of the game.

That wiggly charger problem eventually led to me being completely unable to charge the droid I had, no fix for that. 

Very happy with my Nokia Windows phone.  Only cost me $20 and I like it better than the droid or the iPhone I had before that.

Power 105 has an iOS app, is there one for Android devices?

I downloaded TuneIn Radio. It works great, and it was free. I don't know if I'll be able to play it through the speakers since I'm driving a rental.

Yes, go to the Google Play Store and search "Power 105"...it was the first App result that game up for me.

[EDIT]: Here's a link to the app on the google play store (Android users only)--https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.securenetsystems.wxtq&hl=en If you open this thread on your phone and click the link, it should take you to the app store automatically.
