WBGO

I am one of those listeners that has been listening to WBGO since the very beginning. Growing up with the idea of publicly funded media was intrinsic to the fabric of this country’s culture. Times have changed and with the apocalyptic rise of the lackluster, unimaginative and politically motivated right wing in this country dulling our democracy and the acceptance of art as an essential component to our existence, I understand that there is a need to rethink raising revenue to fund the station’s activities but this is the best we can do?? How many more Capital One commercials on this “commercial free” media do we have to swallow? Sorry, BGO. You represent mostly the best in musical imagination and performance but the programming (which includes the commercial breaks) has become repetitive and boring which seems to have coincided with the inclusion of these commercial breaks. This music known as jazz is far more wide ranging and potent than what you are airing.

Very finicky. It was to be powered by AirKast. Couldn’t pull station up on phone and tried to delete and replace, for some reason can’t recapture app on phone. Station and music is great. I’ve been a supporter and helping to increase listeners but this has been a bad experience. Hopefully you guys can rectify from your end.

I usually live streamed via the web and lately encountered some transmissions issues (which they admitted to). So I tried the app on my phone and listened to jazz all night without any problems here in Manila. Just downloaded the app to my iPad. I was very happy! Three months later the app is suddenly shutting off after 2 minutes. I’ve reloaded the app on both my iPhone and iPad but it doesn’t help. I’m changing the rating from 5 stars to 1 in hopes that it might get better. Now I’m frustrated and not happy at all.
