Spent a little time today with some apps for the iPhone to see if I could get anything actually streaming to the thing. Success and it is free.
1) Download the app “FStream“, clicking this will open iTunes link to app.
2) Once installed, press “favorites”, then press “edit”. Press the plus sign next to “Add new web radio”. Now look at the image to the left, the URL that you want to use is:
mms://uni5.susq.streamaudio.com/KTCK_AM
mms://live.cumulusstreaming.com/KTCK-AM
or
http://player.cumulusstreaming.com/stations/KTCK-AM/PubPoint.asx
3) Press the save button, go to the apps home page and touch text that says “Sports Radio 1310 – The Ticket”, and BOOM!
Now you have access everywhere.
UPDATE:
I, myself, checked this out today as well and am having no luck getting anything but a disconnected message. I will keep searching for a stream that will work.
In the meantime if anyone else finds an iPhone app to stream with, let’s hear about it.
DOUBLE UPDATE: Seems the good ol’ Ticket actually switched their streaming service. They are now streaming from Cumulus Streaming instead of StreamAudio. So just change the URL and you should be good to go!
CUMULUS, THE POWER OF RADIO…

Hallelujah. Well, Santa-Jesus didn’t bring me an iPhone for Christmas, but if there ever was a reason to get one, this is it… well that and the ability to have a rotary dial replace the number touch-pad.

Nice!! Just got the ol’ iPhone and I’m app happy. This one caused me to ejaculate with Ticket goodness!

Moved to Hawaii 5 months ago. Miss the little Ticket in the car, as ESPN radio is all they have and it sucks. Was excited to see this. I did what you suggested to set up Fstream on my new 3G IPhone, but keep getting the Disconnected status on this app and I cannot listen to the ticket. Any suggestions?
Thanks

i entered all the info as stated. won’t connect. i’ve got full bars and internet connection.
however, i’m on an unlocked/jailbroken iphone using t-mobile. could that be the problem?
December 30th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
For those of you that can’t get the FStream working, there is an alternate option that I use. They actually talked about it on the radio one day…it’s called “WunderRadio”.
Click Here to open in iTunes.
It’s from Wunderground.com.
Here’s a good review.
Just select BROWSE SPORTS > SPORTS TALK > THE TICKET (Dallas, TX)
Pretty simple and I’ve never had connection issues. The one thing that might differ from between the two apps is WunderRadio costs $5.99. I think the FStream is free. Might try the free app first and use the paid if it doesn’t work.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Thanks!! FStream is working now with the new cumulus link.

This information should be distributed company wide! I’ve been struggling to add my cluster of stations to my iPhone and this did the trick. Kudos!
January 6th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
I just loaded it on my ITouch. It works excellent. Now I can go around the office firewall that does not allow Streaming audio and I also can;t pick it up on either station with my radio.
THE POWER OF RADIO!

do you have to be connected to a wireless network, or will it work over the 3G Network? I can’t even get the play button to work at the top of the home Play page.
January 8th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Should work over either one, Wi-Fi or cellular. Also, keep an eye on the buffering progress, right below the stop button.
January 24th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
The record feature on this works perfectly, too!
February 12th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
i didn’t want the hassle so i downloaded wunder radio and it works great.
February 23rd, 2009 at 1:02 pm
many blesses.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Whats it mean when its using your cellular network? Is there any charges on this or is it just using your internet connection?
March 2nd, 2009 at 5:04 pm
I means it is using the EDGE network.
So, yes, IF you are roaming you would be charged.
May 9th, 2009 at 10:46 am
Hey, make sure in the settings to use the cellular network, otherwise it won’t stream outside of wifi.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Does anyone have an idea how to get it to work on the G1? There is a StreamItAll app on the market but it doesnt seem to work when using either this or the direct link that the ticket has on their website,
June 27th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
Thanks for posting this!
I moved to Phoenix two weeks ago and the sports radio sucks out here!
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:48 pm
I just got the new iPhone and my only regret was not being able to listen to the little Ticket. Problem solved! Thanks!
August 11th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Thanks for the info on streaming The little Ticket! Compared to the crappy reception I get in the cube it sounds like HD radio!!!
August 18th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
I love fStream, and sometimes record my favorite things, however I was wondering if any of you know how to get those recordings off of the iPhone? You can do other things if they play as mp3 files in iTunes, however if you run recordings out of fStream, you can do anything else on the iPhone.
August 22nd, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Does it work on the itouch ipod?
August 27th, 2009 at 11:20 am
as long as you have wi-fi and the app, it should work on the itouch
August 27th, 2009 at 11:41 am
Typical. The full mms stream link doesn’t display when this blog is viewed on an iPhone.
August 27th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
thx for the heads up. also need to figure out how to play audio with iphone since they don’t let flash on iphones
October 22nd, 2009 at 7:15 am
May be old news but there plenty of radio apps. I use Wunder Radio and the Ticket is clear and perfect.
November 3rd, 2009 at 4:21 pm
@stevea Fstream = Free and Wunder Radio = $6.99
November 3rd, 2009 at 4:37 pm
That is correct @Bob …
Another difference is:
Fstream – if the feed url changes, which it has a couple of times, it’s up to you to figure it out. Also the connectivity is sometimes crappy. But it “IS” free.
Wunder Radio – they do the maintenance and you don’t have to keep up with any of it. The connectivity is never a problem. But it “IS” a few bucks to buy.
My suggestion is… if $6.99 isn’t that big of a deal to you, then get Wunder Radio. I’ve had it and have never had any problem with it. You can also setup many of other stations on it. If you are slightly hesitant in spending money on an app when you can get the other for free, then get FStream.

You can also use this link to record the stream through Replay Music!
December 5th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Doowanna Poopoo – thanks for the wunderadio suggetion. I could not get fstream working, so I downloaded the wunderadio app and I can FINALLY listen!!
December 30th, 2009 at 9:43 am
It appears they switched the stream again. I finally got this to work on fstream:

Found a free app on the iPhone called AOL Radio. It doesn’t have the Ticket listed, but was wondering if anyone knows how I could add their info to get it to work.
(I have fstream, but was looking for another source…just in case)
January 26th, 2010 at 3:53 pm
I just discovered an application in the Android Market that will play The Ticket on Android phones, (e.g. G1), called DroidCumulus. Seems to work well over 3G the little I’ve tried it.
February 8th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
I cant get that DroidCumulus to work. its says buffering for like a minute then just stops. i try over and over and it does the same thing. have tried on 2 different Android phones and both wifi and 3G. no luck, even with a solid 3G signal.
February 22nd, 2010 at 9:53 am
droidcumulus worked for one day, now 1310 the ticket is stuck on “buffering”!!!! phail!!! i need my ticket!!! help!
using the htc hero, any alternatives to droidcumulus??
March 9th, 2010 at 9:05 am
Is there a way to still get phone calls while using the fstream app? My phone calls ring twice and then go straight to voice mail? Thanks!
March 10th, 2010 at 7:48 am
Kevin’s post from 12/30 worked perfectly. Just type the entire email address into the URL section on fstream and BAM!!! Unlimited ticket. Thanks Kev.
