I just got a reply from the AHL media/radio for the Internet about why none of the AWAY games seem to work. It's just insane.. Here it is:
Dear Ms. xxxx...
Radio for the visiting teams is unavailable. We are still working on providing it.
Regards,
AHL Support

Can you even believe that?!?! It worked before they tried this new stupid set-up.. which, BTW, they did so they could try and get more people to watch the games.
So, we get to listen to the other team's broadcast this Friday and probably next Wednesday. Thank God it's not Portland!
I just got a note from Adam, too. They know that the site is doing that (not broadcasting the away games. But, just as I was having bad thoughts about the AHL site, I was proven right by Adam when said he believe the separate feeds (home and away) are available if you purchase the video version of the broadcast but not just the radio/audio (which is free) option. Now that ticks me off if the site is doing that.
He also said that they are "looking forward to a time when both radio feeds are available", so I hope that is soon.
I SO hate not hearing Adam or Kevin. Not only are they "our guys", but they are both so good.

Maybe the AHL should have tested the new network before the season, I don't know. I'm sure they are getting bombed with complaints so you know they are working at it. We'll just have to wait a little and it will get straightened out.
I don't know why they went and changed it. They had a site for web broadcasts, and the radio was always easy to find from the team's site of the stats sheet. Now they have to put some fancy junk in and we have to suffer.
I guess what got me the most was that the AHL people were like "yeah, we know it doesn't work.." and their unspoken words were, "and we'll get around to it when we're good and ready". ACK
