Fill in the Blank

I am listening to a paragraph and need to fill in the blanks. I can not seem to find the right word for this sentence!

It goes like this:
Si lo (6) consiguen , la gente va a (7) estar muy feliz. Si no, ustedes pueden (8) ______ la historia aquí, en Radio Montaña.

It sounds like "say-ear" pronounced in english. However, I can not find any word in my current vocabulary that sounds like that. My best guess was "salen", but that was marked incorrect...

Thanks! It wound up being seguir.... Though there were a number of words that could have potentially went there...

Opto por 'escuchar'.
'Seguir' me parece como que la historia ha sido interrumpida una vez conseguida.
MHO, indeed

@Pino: Se trata de un ejercicio de comprensión oral, a través de una grabación; no parece opción cambiar la palabra.
"Seguir una historia en las noticias" es una expresión bastante común para referirse al hecho de ponerle atención al desarrollo de una determinada situación de interés.

- En el exterior seguimos atentamente el juicio de Berlusconi en Italia.
- Algunos extranjeros siguen las noticias de la violencia en México.
- Mis amigos están siguiendo los resultados de los partidos de la NFL para apostarle al Supertazón.

¡ODM, claro que suena perfecto!
Algo me debe haber confundido que no entendí bien el el asunto puesto.
Mil disculpas a todos y agradecimientos a Angelica.
