1560 The Game Rating 3 out of 5 Stars *** I rated 1560 The game as three stars out of five. I really enjoyed my experience; I had fun and found out what it takes to survive in sports media. I have learned the ins and outs of radio and saw first hand the hard work they have to put in. However, my experience was dull at times because of the lockout combined with horrible Astros play. After getting used to everything around the station work became stagnant and left me with little more to learn.
