KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM 4+

So every time I open the app, I have to wait for the apps commercials to finish, before the live broadcast starts which also has commercials of its own. I get the live broadcast having commercials, but why does the app have commercials separate from the live broadcast. Also, the apps live feed stops and is interrupted by the apps commercials, forcing me to wait for them to finish. There should be no app commercials when you start the live broadcast

I love being able to listen to the Tom & Curley Show and Dori Monson. For people complaining about the ad that automatically plays at the beginning, exit out of the app as soon as it starts and go back into it and press play again. That will let you skip the repetitive ad. The app is slightly glitchy, giving you a playback error at times. The thing I wish they'd do is to remember what spot you were at when you pause or stop so that you don't have to go back in and search for where you were at. My love of the 9am-3pm kiro radio programming overcomes these glitches though.

The App itself is ok. You have to play commercials to make money, I get it. It’s annoying, but I hope everyone understands the necessity. I listen to KIRO live and through podcasts and the app lets me listen live without the radio. All day today (9/6/21), however, it’s been crashing. The broadcast plays for maybe 20 seconds, then either crashes itself or my phone. Please fix!
