You can’t get there from here

Commercial insertion on Apple TV live broadcast is plain broken! The #%^%* thing does NOT work / the timing is off. By the time commercials finish, the broadcast has already started. And most recently, it completely skipped the end of the forecast with the 10 day weather, and went to well over 4 minutes of commercial. By the time it came back, the next segment was already airing. Completely missed the end of the weather. Don’t know how much to blame the app vs how much is error on the part of the station.

Bonus points - when they eventually get one thing fixed, they usually break something else

You can’t get there from here

Used to work. The more Gray Media does, the worse things get. Trying to look at a couple news items. Two of them jump right past the story and go to a resources page from which you can’t get back. Lots of other minor complaints. It’s as if everyone is still trying to figure this out. Amateurs

I hate this app

While I appreciate KBJR6 for the work they do, this app is horrible. It’s hard to navigate, incredibly slow to load stories and videos. Can we put the black bear casino ad literally anywhere else? I’d like my news app to bring me right to the story or home page when I open the app, having this ad (or any other) pop up every single time is about to be my 13th reason.

Not impressed

The new app is clunky! It feels like it was rushed to make a deadline

New NNN App

The new app isn’t as user friendly as the old one. Plus, I have a red alert showing up but I don’t see any alerts to look at. Frustrating! So far, I’m not impressed!

New 2026 version is perfect for flushing

I had to delete app and just stick with the OTHER local news apps. Hopefully they didn’t pay someone to design this latest turd. Was fine before even though the forced advertising just to OPEN it was horrible idea. NNN should fire their entire design team.

Just… ew

Well, what KBJR has become is certainly anything but news. Aside from local Fox, I can’t imagine having such a group of incapable “journalists”. From just foolish typos, inaccurate local reporting, to now just silly AI dribble. So…. Just gross. I swear, the only decent writeups on this app come from elsewhere, like borrowed AP/Grey News articles. Do better. Then maybe I’d be inclined to tolerate a full sound advert from your app.

Apple TV issues

Works okay until you get to commercials. Then it falls off the planet - shows the Gray Media image, half the time it doesn’t come back

Tried support thru the developer web page. Did not get a response

I also use northland news app on Roku - works fine

Needs work

First: the support link in the App Store 404’s

Seems to work okay on Roku, but on Apple TV, it gets lost in space, beachballs, goes to commercial and never comes back. Very inconsistent behavior. Have not tried it on other Apple devices.

Does not work like they say

Never been able to watch live news on the app

I Love KBJR TV App.

I love the local news, local weather and local sports.

Airing paid ads guaranteed to raise the number of acts of terror

The organization for Christians and Jews narrated by Mike Huckabee pretends to be a request for funds for Jews living in Ukraine. It may possibly be that, but the pictures say this is how you terrorize old people here. It doesn't matter if it isn't a training film by design, it is in fact a repetitious film that shows how to actually get rid of old people; make them fearful, take away their comforts, tell them to go away, they're in the way. This is not fanciful. Three years ago I got a new neighbor who had that mindset.he told me I couldn't use our common driveway; I told him he needed to see the titles at the courthouse. The next time he said why don't I just die so somebody young could have my house. That's how evil thinking spreads to Proud Bois who marched saying •"The Jews will not replace us" in Portland last summer. These young men are frustrated with the economy and feel cheated by those of us who were paid a fair wage 35 years ago. They're blaming the wrong people because they listen to the wrong people. It was the president and CEOs who dropped the bottom out of our wages with the war on unions.
Thank you for reading my rant.

Our go to news source

Always accurate and dependable

Tech

Your site rarely comes up on my computers when all other stations and the DNT come up easily. You have a tech issue!

Website is always 2 days behind WDIO

Who manages this website??
It’s old news and hard to find info
School closings are buried also

KBJR bews

The news is fine but I switch channels when your so called weather man is blowing his horn. The weather gal is very good.

It is in my opinion, our news persons are the best in the northland!! I rarely if ever watch any other local news here in the northland. I especially enjoy the weather men and Jenna! Both of the Adams are good at there jobs. And all are very knowledgeable! They all are very serious but can have fun also. I hope this is what you wanted. It’s quite late and I am tired 💤 so please forgive me if it was just messed up! Good night now! Keep doing the wonderful jobs you do morning noon and dinner times and last but not least. The 10 pm time slot.
