My office recently opened and I'm on the higher floor in the Loop. I can't seem to tune int 670 WSCR - THE SCORE!!!!! I love listening to these guys and I'm depressed at the moment. I tried everything from a clock radio to something a little more powerful with antenna. I still can't get reception. Any ideas?

I got a C. Crane super radio and a "selectenna" device that mostly worked when my cued was on the first row by the windows on the west side of Sears Tower. Center of the building you gotta rely on the Internet...

Yeah, I'm at the point where I'll look into sending an IT guy a case of his favorite beer to take care of a few clicks that will open up The Score streaming live online!!!

There are many phone apps, like I heart radio which let's you listen via your phone. Another idea which I use is the podcast from 670 and just listen to mack the next day, it sucks that it's not live but better than nothing.

AM reception in the loop is brutal, your best bet is a smartphone. For whatever reason CBS removed all their stations from radiotime which is by far the best app. I now use AOL radio just to listen to the score.

Another option is guest wifi in your office, many time IT doesn't have as strict of a web policy for guest networks. If you have one, this streaming appliance is awesome. Perhaps overkill for the score but cool none the less.

WBBM recently started simulcasting on FM. I wish more AM stations would follow suit.

Yes, Hi Rise AM in general is problematic unless you use internet streaming , or a station simulcasts on FM .. Now, we can actually watch the Bears the real way ..TV on Fox, Radio on 'BBM !!! .. Unfortunately , WGN can't stream the Cubs because of MLB licensing, but they do stream the Blackhawks..
In addition to the appliance mentioned above, the Logitech Squeezeradio is nice compact unit , and looks like a clock radio so it won't draw much attention in the office ( if you can bribe IT or work for a company that doesn't block internet radio sites
