World Rally Radio

[AndyRAC]

Doesn't seem to work on the Tune-In app - though it hasin the past.

Judging by the quality of the radio coverage, SS7 is driven in some unknown galaxy far far away.

The WRC app for Nokia Windows phone is being discontinued also after the end of the season. This was the only reason I bought a new Nokia at the start of the year, rather than switch to iPhone. WRC Live doesn't work on the Windows Phone browser either.

I hope Red Bull has some good ideas for getting WRC back in the media spotlight... Terrestrial TV coverage please :-)

What on earth are you babbling about?

Doesn't work unless you have flash. Which is the biggest crock of......

On desktop it won't work without having a browser open.

Most phones, tablets and other mobile devices don't have flash.

Its pathetic that they were blowing on about getting iphones, as if everyone has an iphone. Then android. Then a nokia. Now it mostly works on neither.

Stupid to see the amount of people across forums and social media with no connection because they won't simply make the make a simple reliable audio stream available that works on most platforms. That worked fine for years, why f*** it up. Shouldn't have to download an app for every audio stream.

WRC really can afford treat it fans with such contempt.

What was the reason they killed the WRR? Or did they?
Only to get us to pay for All Live, or was it another reason?

Not sure how many hours I have spent listening to them, but many over the years.
Especially the end of stage interviews has been good, to undersatnd more on why they went slow/fast on the different stages.

I will miss them!

Money

[AndyRAC]

Huge mistake to get rid.....and if they think they can get people to sign up to WRC All Live, then they're deluded. WRC is a pretty small 'global sport'. I think this decision may come back to bite them on the @r5e.

There is a difference between radio & TV, and needs a different style of commentary; using the sound from visual pictures will not work. They think they know best - they don't!

But if the number of people listening to it because of All Live dropped off significantly, is it worth the money?

That's probably the calculation they made.
