Streaming near impossible

Whether using app via a traditional streaming service or via cellular data this is horrible!
Today is severe high risk weather day (16Mar26) and can’t get app to stream via any freaking means!
Got zero news 6-7am; Got 5 mins of news (1215-1220) which didn’t include any weather…
Now know why the app is rated so low! 🤬
