About Streaming Media

Streaming Audio a method of playing audio files from the web. The audio is played as it arrives off the Internet. The file is not preserved on the computer, so an internet connection must be sustained to play the audio file.  In simplest terms, it's an audio signal, carried to your computer by the wonders of the internet.  It can be either "live" or "archived" (saved at a website for later listening).

Here at Ballparkradio, it means live "internet radio" broadcasts of your favorite men's fastpitch teams, bringing the games right into your home or office.  

You sit down at your computer, click a couple of links, and wait for the "streaming audio" to load and play through the speakers hooked up to your computer.  Once you're connected, it is virtually the same as listening to radio.   Our streaming audio broadcasts are carried by a company called  "Sportjuice", the leading provider of streaming audio for minor league baseball teams all over the country.  (They take our signal and "stream" it to you). 

Streaming Audio Pioneers  for Men's Fastpitch

David Blackburn (R) & Ron Chambers (L) Pioneered the

 Use of Streaming Audio for Men's Fastpitch and have produced

streaming audio broadcasts for the ISC World Tournament since 2001

 

The use of live, "streaming audio" broadcasts of men's fastpitch games was pioneered by one of Southern California's own, David Blackburn. David who is still an active player/pitcher, is a former ISC State Commissioner for California, and now heads up the ISC's internet broadcasts with broadcast partner, Ron Chambers, pictured above. (That's Ron at left, David at right).  Ron has been a mainstay of the past ISC World Tournament since 2001, broadcasting as many as seven games in a single day!

David Blackburn included Fastpitchwest in some of his early "trial" broadcasts from the 2001 Best of the West tournament, where we got a first-hand look at the technology for streaming audio.  It wasn't long ago that we only dreamed of broadcasting fastpitch games on the internet.  Hard to believe that 2004 was their fourth (4th) year of bringing us live broadcast of the ISC World Tournament.

In 2004, David Blackburn pushed the envelope further still, with the first ever streaming video broadcast of the ISC World Tournament Championship game.
