HereComesTheReignAgain Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) I am attempting to listen to WGR on the Radio.com App and every few minutes a commercial cuts in. This is not a scheduled break because it happens right in the middle of a sentence and I get 2 minutes of a show before another 10 minutes of asinine commercials break in. At least it isn't an important week for Buffalo sports! The day before the biggest Bills game in over a decade and the local sports radio station is a mess. If I hear "do one thing" or "It's not odd, It's the odds" one more time... [Mod edit: scroll down apparently they're aware of problems with their app and Sal posted a different link to the show] Edited January 3, 2020 by Hapless Bills Fan pertinant info 1
Mrbojanglezs Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I noticed that this morning. The app does random things like that all the time. Honestly it's just better listening on demand(podcast) they post shows pretty quickly. Then you can increase playback speed and skip commercials 2

And who thought that music used in that add sounded anything other than laughable?

Samwell Tarly Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Also you cannot listen to the Bills games on this app, WGR reverts to an ESPN feed during the game. Some license issue I'm sure. Surprised that they don't make them refer to the Bills as the Professional Football team from Orchard Park. 1
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted January 3, 2020 Author Posted January 3, 2020 I feel like the Family Guy Episode where they are chained in the basement and forced to watch the Direct TV remote instructions on repeat! 2
billsfan28277 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 It's not just WGR. It happens to other radio broadcasts I try to listen to also. If you pause the play to get a cup of coffee or run to the little boys room, when I hit play, it jumps to live broadcast no matter where I was in the listening. And the archive feature blows too. The app sucks.
BillnutinHouston Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Agree with all previous complaints. Crap.
TroutDog Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 It is a very bad app. I wait and listen on rewind so I can skip the incessant commercials. As mentioned above, when it glitches you have to kill it and reopen. They spent tons on designing that app! ?
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Hey! Where’s da Insdigadors, dere?! 1
BringBackFlutie Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Completely agree. I was just thinking this on my way into work. I drive 25 minutes, and I hear about 5 minutes of Howard and Jeremy, and I don't get to hear them finish any of their sentences. It's unbearable.

Apparently their app is having Big Issues and they know about it He reposted: Hope this is useful 2
mgs2277 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Glad to hear it was a glitch. Normally the app is solid, but yesterday was borderline un-listenable.
machine gun kelly Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Agreed on all points, and for us who have moved to another city, it’s the only way to hear their bills spots. 2
vanhalen26 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I wish they would return to tunein, it was so much better
Dunkirk Donski Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Wgr sucks at most things, they dont need much help from radio.com. I haven't lived in WNY in 20 years so im out of the loop. What are the local alternatives nowadays???
