How to listen to Buccaneers vs. Bengals NFL preseason game on the radio
By Josh Hill
We live in a digital age where watching sports is easier than it ever has been. Even though the NFL still lags way behind the NBA and MLB in terms of having a centralized league-operated app to watch games, football has grown more accessible in the past few years thanks to the expansion of streaming.
Even though all preseason games are broadcast locally, the NFL+ app helps fans access games and NFL Network tries to air as many games as it can throughout the week if anyone misses the action live.
Still, there’s always been a trusty way to catch games even if you don’t have a television. Radio broadcasts have been around forever and even with the advent of digital streaming services, radio has lived on.
That’s going to be clutch for certain Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans who aren’t lucky enough to be local or who might not have easy access to WTTA-TV to catch tonight’s preseason opener against the Bengals.
