Ive been out of state for years now and tried radio app a while back. It was absolutely BRUTAL. Like you said, it was 15 minutes of garbage ads, followed by 2min of the show, followed by another 15min of ads (which were the exact same ones).

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I don't know if it will help, but I sent the following message to Howard Simon and a bunch of the operations guys. I did this through the WGR website "contact us" option. The move to Radio(great moments in sports).com was a horrible decision. Was there any research or testing prior to this move? I got in my car looking forward to training camp talk and instead got 20 straight minutes of commercials and "great moments in sports. I heard the same "great moments" 5 times! Please address these issues because I am far from the only fan that is extremely frustrated with this garbage app. It is also a topic on twobillsdrive.com. I realize you may not be the person to actually fix the issue, but please pass this along to those who can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I finish one segment in automatically goes back and plays the previous segment instead of stopping or going forward. It can be very annoying when you are driving.

Bills fan since 87 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Has anyone tried calling the show to mention it? I realize it is not something they control but I'm sure they can get the word out to those who do. If it becomes an on air topic I'm sure others would chime in so they would know just how bad it has been. Of course it might be screened as they'd probably not be advised to discuss any negativity about radio.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corta765 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 This morning was awful and I did email the guy Jeremy White said to contact.

Starr Almighty Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I agree that it's terrible when it gets stuck on greatest sports. What I do is back out 1 screen then pull down to refresh and you will see it update from advertisement to the name of the show. Press play and you are good to go. I do agree this app isn't good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and it is really irritating. Time to dump this app. This has been a complete joke the entire process. I was emailing them everyday telling them to stop sending me mails everyday about switching to radio.com.

I spoke to one person at the Entercom Offices detailing the problems I am having listening to the app. Nothing new has changed after calling since a segment of Schopp and the Bulldog today was almost entirely wiped out with the Greatest Moments in Sports on constant repeat.
