Comments on WDRB+WAVE for Android

★★★★★ Kelly Al-Zawar · Oct 13, 2026
1 STAR - Gray Media is trying to take WDRB down completely. That's why they combined them and put ads. Wave 3 WILL NEVER BE WATCHED! GRAY MEDIA, YOU SUCK!!!
★★★★★ Tonya Klaes · May 17, 2024
Live the cast they are so real and so much fun to watch. Great crew
★★★★★ Robert Plum (Bob) · Aug 9, 2024
Fantastic station, love the morning news and weather. I tune them in at 0600 and watching them till 10:00. WDRB is my only station to watch.
★☆☆☆☆ Craig Steele · Sep 11, 2026
This app is terrible now. I had the WDRB ap and it was fine. Since the update and WAVE addition, it's been utterly useless trying to watch the news! The watch live section is supposed to play news whenever but now is just an endless loop of ads.
★☆☆☆☆ Marilyn Wiechert · Sep 2, 2026
The merger knocked WDRB off streaming. I hope this is something you will fix. I also want to watch live-streaming not something that was recorded 2 or 3 hours ago. We need timely news and weather for our local Louisville area!
