So every Saturday when I come in to work I got to ESPNRadio and listed to the show they have on at the time ( usually College Gameday ).
It used to be when I went to the page there was always a " Listen Now " button that opened up the player and tuned to the show.
About 2 weeks ago I go to do that and there's no " Listen Now " button on the main page.
That's fine so I go to " Schedule " and go to the day, click on the link for the show that's on, but there's still no " Listen Now " button. In it's place is an advertisement.
So I continue bouncing around and finally I get to the link on page for ahsow that's not even on during the weekends.
Today I go on and there's no " Listen Now " button on the main page so I again go to the page for the current show and there it is.
So I'm listeneing and eventually get a stuipd Internet Explorer has to close error.
When I log back in, and go to the Gameday page, the " Listen Now " button is missing again !!!
What the F ????
Again after going through several other pages I find the button.
What's ESPN's deal ?
I'm clearly not imagining this and there has to be a reason they're moving the button.
I'd tend to think they are trying to push towards signing up for the podcasts option but it's obviously stil free as long as you can find that damn thing.
