Try this site, it actually works for WGR.

Thanks! This just worked right away!

 

I've been trying to "listen live" at wg550.com ever since the game ended...just get that spinning wheel of death and the live streaming never loads.

 

Thank you!

Also, if you listen to the On Demand segments, they often skip back 2 minutes and replay conversations that you've already heard. 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!

Tried it and it changed by computer settings, uninstalled.

What did it change?  I had no issues.

Its a website, should be nothing to install/uninstall?

When I went there none of the links worked except install chrome extension.

Thats weird, all I did was open the site and click the play button in the middle of the below image.

Pretty sure you're never able to listen to the games live online, NFL charges for that.

I have listened to the Bills on it all season on my laptop.  The app on the phone was a no go. 

I went to Radio.com and listened to other sports radio stations.  It seems only WGR is not loading.

I listen to WGR streaming radio every day on my laptop, during games, etc.

 

A few days ago they adopted this new software and it clearly has glitches.

 

I think today an enormous number of people tried to listen to the stream b/c of the game and it somehow overloaded the system.

 

At least that's my theory.   I bet it will go back to working OK later this evening when fewer people are trying to listen.

Anyone else having trouble getting WGR-550 to stream?


Their new "rewind" app thing sucks and now it seems like it's broken entirely.

 

 


the App always sucks. I have a problem with it like twice or three times a day

It's horrible and seems to have systemic flaws built into it.

 

But I mean they are totally off the air now (online at least).

 

It normally works fine in that regard during the week.

 

It does not work at all after games on Sundays when lots of people are trying to listen.

 

It's just horrible!

The rewind feature doesn't work that great. I can never figure out how far back I'm rewinding. I thought in the first week, it would tell me what time I rewound back to, but now it doesn't. And I just have to guess what I think an hour is or whatever.....

agree. Very rarely had issues with the WGR app. This one very rarely can I get it to work consistently

I can usually get radio.com to stream, but when my phone screen times out, so does the audio from the app.  I do not have that problem with other apps like Spotify.

Go to your notifications drop down and tap "play" again on phone. It should start playing.
