WGR550 Streaming Radio Fixed

I thought I'd make a new topic for this so it doesn't get buried in the other threads talking about problems with WGR.

 

I just visited a website I normally visited, but haven't in a while, and noticed the website looked all weird; like I was looking at code for the construction of the page and not the page itself.  Combined with my problems at WGR, I thought maybe I need to update my web browser.

 

I am on an Apple MacBook using Safari.  Turns out, Apple ceased doing updates of Safari so as to push you into their new "High Siera" or whatever it is operating system.  So I finally bit the bullet and downloaded the new operating system.


Once it was installed, I went to that website and it looked normal again!  I then went to WGR550.com and clicked "listen live" and sure enough, it worked just fine (after the initial ad hung up for a while but I finally got past that!)

 

So anyway, I'm back to being able to listen to WGR550 live.


if you are listening on a laptop or desktop, try upgrading your operating system and or internet browser.

 

I think my antiquated version of Safari was simply no longer compatible with current demands in website design.


The new WGR software for live streaming pushed my system over the edge.

 

Maybe someone else will find this useful.

It seems to work most of the time, except for the repeated commercials like:

 

Boomer Esiason talking about AZEK Decks

Home Depot

Jamie or Flo talking about Progressive

Save the Redwoods

GNC

Safeway

Great moments in sports

 

I miss the local Buffalo Commercials on the App like

 

Give Belknap a Ring

Mavis

Trust Transitowne

Northtown Auto

West Herr

Ted's Hot Dogs

Hear More

He's Got Your Back

Northwest Bank

Westermeier Martin Dental

Buffalo Roadhouse 

Any Buffalo commercial with the same narrator who does the 'The Buffalo Bills Postgame Show is brought to you by....'

And I'm sure I'm missing a lot more

 

Please help remind me of the local Buffalo commercials. That's a bummer about the app.
