billsfaningeneseo Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 So for the first time in a long time I had to be in the car during a bills game. I tried tuning in to WGR using tunein radio (which I had used before) and got a message saying it was blocked due to nfl regulations? Sorry if I am behind the times on this, but what gives? And if I can't use WGR, does anyone have other legal alternatives? I'm going to be driving in the Hudson valley albany to nyc a lot of Sundays, and don't want to miss the games (bad enough I won't be watching). I don't see any stations in the area listed on the bills radio network, so.... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhg Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/radio-network-listing.html You could try the Syracuse or Utica stations and see how far the reception goes. Not sure, just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 What about the WGR app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 They changed the rules last year and are blocking game broadcasts over the app and TuneIn Radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) I am very surprised that I have been able to listen to the games live via this WGR broswer link: http://v6.player.abacast.net/2103 Edited October 4, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallskiWallski83 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Try using tunein radio on Torontos 590 the fan, i havent personally used it but I think it should circumvent the NFLs blockade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Also try the Bills app. I think it has a game audio stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbag Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) last year, i got the same message using the wgr app. this year, i've been listening to games on my laptop via wgr.com and haven't had any issues. i haven't tried turning it on after the game has already started, however (when i listened this year, i turned it on for the pre-game). i wonder if you'll get that message if you try accessing wgr.com after kickoff? maybe they won't bump you off if you tune in before the game starts?

G-Daddy Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Wgr web site worked for me game 3 but not game 4, so I gave NFL $25 to listen to Bills only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbag Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Wgr web site worked for me game 3 but not game 4, so I gave NFL $25 to listen to Bills only. they'll really appreciate it, being a non-profit and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfaningeneseo Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Thanks for this tips. I will be driving back to nyc tomorrow during the game and will try out the Toronto station and the link above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranded in Boston Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Interesting ... I live in Italy, and I've had no problems (well, except with the wife) listening to all the games this year on wgr550.com website, and hitting the "listen live" button on the home page. Presumably the NFL regulations don't apply in Europe? Here's an idea: if you can find a European-based Virtual Private network (VPN) server you might fool them that you're in Europe. I use a US-based VPN server all the time for content that I can't access in Europe; the reverse is likely also true. VPN is usually very easy to use: you just log on and then access all content via your normal browser. I just browsed around a bit and found a bunch of "free" or "cheap" commercial European VPN offers, but I can't vouch for them. But if you know somebody who works at or attends a European university, that's a good way to go. Most universities here (as well as US) have VPN servers for free use of associates.

habes1280 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I hesitate to say this, because I'm paranoid and don't want things to change, but the game was broadcast through the Bills app last week. I didn't open the app in weeks 1-3, so I'm not sure if this was a one-week fluke, but if you have the app, click the "radio" button in the upper right hand corner (which typically brings you to WGR) and, hopefully, you'll get the game.
