I like to listen to ball games a work. Can't stream. Phone package would cost me an extra $10 a month in data, and $40-70 for the season pass or whatever they call it now. I went with the Sony radio feeling it gave me the best shot at a signal in my tin can of a building.
I fear I'm an educated consumer who made the best choices he could...and just wanted a damned battery so he didn't miss the cubs home opener.
