Cereal Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I moved back to Rochester a year ago, and most of the time, I have been able to get the WGR radio signal in pretty decent from my car during commute. However, the past couple of days, it's been just static. Anyone experiencing this, or have an explanation? Hopefully it's a dumb question... And No, I don't have a smart phone Thanks!

WGR goes directional at night. You can't hear them past Akron after sundown. Could that be it?

You (or someone) must have posted this before, because that all sounds familiar, and it's pretty cool. My issue is ~8am and ~4:30pm, so I don't think daytime vs. nighttime is the issue. (I've noticed the daytime vs. nighttime in the past, for sure!) I wonder if my car's antenna got botched somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daytime vs night may be in issue since we sprung forward last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
