Punching Bag Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Last year I listened to WGR on PC when I was not able physically handle driving to bar and watching the game there. This year WGR has been unable to provide any radio coverage of preseason games but I am hoping that it is because it is preseason. Otherwise I will need to revisit thread.

The "kids" want all the things that their parents had...they are buying records, not CD's....and they have revived the cassette industry. Kids (a term I use, at 54 to describe anyone from 12-30) are really in to making mixed tapes. They don't seem to bat an eye at paying $25 or $30 for brand new copies of "Rumors", "Eagles Greatest Hits", Led Zeppelin III. The stuff they heard their parents play. It many sound silly, but I think "Guardians of the Galaxy" was a big factor. We got a "jam-box" with a double cassette deck, and radio too..in less PC days we called them ghetto blasters. They are pretty terrible brands, but the fact that they are making them tells me there is a niche out there...and it is only a matter of time before better electronic brand names start to take notice. There seems to be a growing number of younger people who are rejecting the digital down-load. 7 minutes ago, albanyfan said: A record store (record theater?) probably sells music on cassette, too. Lables are staring to put out pre-recorded cassettes again. Cassettes have their draw-backs, but for an older guy like me, cassettes were the most personal way of listening to music...being able to make your own mixes...your own artwork...I have about 60 comps that I, or friends of mine made, back in the 80s...we put so much time and thought into them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing. The NFL does not allow free out of market streaming of their games. The WGR broadcast is blacked out in non local markets. There are pay options through the NFL or Sirius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reks Ryan Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Download the Tune in App. Relatively inexpensive and it’s reliable as long as you have good signal. I have it since early this year. Have listened to MLB, College sports, NBA playoffs, Sabres and now Bills Preseason. So far have not had single game I wanted the hear that wasn’t available. i love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably be in Cape Breton when the home opener happens. I'm not even sure I'll have internet. Radio coverage? forget it. I’ll be at the home opener, but for THE opener vs Jets I’ll be on a small cruise ship leaving Gibraltar on our way to Cadiz, Spain. I honestly have NO IDEA how many years it’s been since I missed seeing a Bills game! I’m not complaining, but I am interested in ways to keep up.

Billsman623 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 It works for free in the Bills official app. WGR is blacked out from online streaming during the game but for some reason it works through the Bills app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even heard of a PC with App emulating software. My phone is like me too old to install apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
