Big Blitz Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 No, just issues with WGR. Not interested in them telling me what to think.  I'll continue to read the board for takes and entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

App also cannot be used out of the country without a VPN being employed. Terrible app and I know that it has cost them hours of my listening time.  I kept thinking maybe I pushed a skip back button on accident.  Last night, I was trying to listen to the end of the Sabres game - it cut in with commericals for Rochester places with 34 seconds left - and then during the postgame, Paul Hamilton is in the middle of a sentence and it cuts to those same commercials again!  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 This is weird. Â Tuesday November 19th 3pm eastern.. Â Just tuned in to listen live (online) for the start of the Schopp/Bulldog show. Â They are playing (for the third time now) their segment with Micah Hyde from Monday. Â Definitely something weird going on; either they have a technical problem where they can't broadcast live right now, or Schopp and Bulldog are late in arriving at the radio station, or something weird like that.

Nick the Greek Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I was listening today to John Murphy show and they were taking a call and an ad just started, interrupting the middle of the show.  missed what the caller had to say and half of Taskers response.

"Brothers of mercy....brothers of L-O-O-O-O-V-E!"  I can hear it in my mind now.   OK.  It was just explained.  Schopp and Bulldog were down at "716" bar preparing to broadcast live from there, as they always do on Sabres game days.  Sounds like they ran into technical difficulties and can't do that, so they are driving to the studio out in Amherst to broadcast today's show.  In the meantime they are broadcasting recorded content.  LOL.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heitz Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 For whatever reason radio.com wouldn't work for me on Safari or Chrome at home the past couple weeks for pre-game.  And oddly (gathering from this thread) the app worked perfect and had no issues...  FWIW, I did tweet at Radio.com and WGR, but they didn't respond (which is funny, because bigger companies like ATT or United always respond to tweets ).

See my comment a few posts up.  Listening live at the WGR-550.com website flat out doesn't work for me on game day.  Pre-game, during game, or post game.  I assume it gets overloaded with users  and just locks up or something.  That "my tuner radio.com" link is fantastic.  It just plays the radio station live with no online ads, no rewind glitch crap, etc.  And it works on game days.   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
