News Talk 1110 & 99.3 WBT +17

I have used this app on a daily basis Monday - Friday since I started working in the Charlotte area on a regular basis. Until recently, I have never had a problem with the app. Over the last couple of days, I cannot connect with the app. It says “Network error, having problems connecting with the internet. Check your connections”. EVERYTHING ELSE ON MY PHONE IS ABLE TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET”

I have turned my phone off and on, I deleted the app and reinstalled it and nothing works. Please fix the app! Over air signal comes and goes, which makes no sense either with the signal strength you advertise. WFNZ recently opened an FM station and I can hear them in a larger radius of Charlotte than I can your station. That is why I rely on the app. As the app operates now, won’t connect, when it does, lengthy advertisements before goes to the actual shows along with staying connected problems….I would not recommend this app.

Please fix the app!!!!!!

I am very disappointed by this app and frankly I’m shocked that WBT would continue to use this as their app to support their program streaming. This app allows the program being streamed to be cut into by commercials while the on air personalities are in the middle of talking about the various topics and also the commercials are the same ones over and over (sometimes back to back). It seems that the commercials are just inserted “Willy-Nilly”.

I used this app when I got out of radio range but after listening to 8 minutes of ads over and over I finally gave up and removed the app after a few weeks. I really enjoy listening to the other content on the AM radio but the signal is too poor to hear when I get to north Charlotte. The FM station is even worse. I’ll just have to find a new source for news in the Charlotte area.
