buffalopdc Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I no longer live Buffalo , much to my dismay, however, I get my fill of Bills coverage on twobillsdrive and listening to the WGR app to and from work. The question I have is the app locked not to work during bills games? Over the weekend I was hoping to listen to the game on the app and it kept giving me an error message. This happened in the preseason as well. If it is locked down, please let me know of any other ways to get to listen to the game out of town. Maybe another app? I know when 97Rock had the games I could use the "tunein radio" app, but I did not see WGR on it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Apparently so is the post game show. PTR

billscsg Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I live in columbus ga. We used the tuneinradio for the game Sunday. It worked great.
CBD Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Perhaps try listening to it directly on their site rather than using the app?
abbottroadwarrior Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I live in columbus ga. We used the tuneinradio for the game Sunday. It worked great. This, a thousand times over. TuneInRadio works great and I've never had a problem getting WGR on there.
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 The WGR app is terrible, at least for Droid. It rarely works anymore, the only thing it's good for is checking the audio vault for an interview here or there... and even then it only works 50/50 anymore. TuneIn has WGR550 on their listings, works incredibly better.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Except the TuneIn app did not work Sunday either. WGR shut their stream off completely. PTR
GG Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I listen to it either through TuneIn or Buffalo Bills mobile app. Worked fine so far. Was at the game this week, so didn't have the stream on, but the pregame show and all preseason worked fine.
Metal Man Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I live in columbus ga. We used the tuneinradio for the game Sunday. It worked great. Did you listen to the entire game using that app? I tried using it with about 5 minutes to go, right after Stevie's TD, and I was only getting dead air. Someone mentioned in another thread that WGR had some issues at the end of the game so maybe it was that vs being blocked by NFL rules, at least I hope that's the case. This, a thousand times over. TuneInRadio works great and I've never had a problem getting WGR on there. Same here. Been using that app for the last couple years. It was always for 97 rock though so hopefully being WGR only doesn't change this.
aristocrat Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 tunein radio and go to nfl, buffalo bills and click on the espn gameday(i think rochester) I had it on my phone and had the game at the bar although it was a bit behind tv.
BillsRUs Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 According to NFL rules, WGR cannot air live game commentary on their apps. The pre game and post game show should be on.
eball Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 As far as I know, the WGR link from the official Bills app is always on. Tried it during the game on Sunday with no problems. Just tried it a few minutes ago and it was playing.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 This, a thousand times over. TuneInRadio works great and I've never had a problem getting WGR on there. +1
buffalopdc Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 I also contacted WGR about this and this was there response. It looks like in the future they will be airing the game on the app. "Sorry for the issue! There was an issue with our streaming feed on Sunday; however, that has been resolved for future games and shows. I believe the pre-season was not broadcast, but all regular season games will be. We are also addressing the spontaneous audio loss issue with the vendor who provides our app, so hopefully I will have news on that shortly. In the meantime, thank you for listening and have a great day!"
BuffOrange Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I couldn't get the postgame either on my laptop or app, which was very disappointing. Theraputic to have some Schopp & Bulldog after a game like that. That's good they're supposedly fixing it.

They let Schopp stay home since he tells everyone how much he doesn't care. PTR
Heitz Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) According to NFL rules, WGR cannot air live game commentary on their apps. The pre game and post game show should be on. Boom - this! They even mentioned this about 50 times during the pre-game broadcast. They can't play the game on the app, but they can play it on the website. Last week something was clearly wrong with their feed after the game. The post-game show wasn't on the web, or the App, but it was playing on WGRs sister station in Rochester...
