Audio always on
I would love to give this a five star rating however when you click on a news story it almost always has audio- and it starts to play right away. It should give you the option to hit play instead of starting right away
The Best in Boston!
As a long-time resident of Massachusetts, I have watched all three major TV news channels. Hands down, WCVB is the absolute best. When I need to find out what is happening I automatically turn to Channel 5. I have the app on my phone, as well. I love WCVB!
Terrible
None of the videos play for me
Like It
But the ads before the video clips are annoying.
A great app for Massachusetts news
It’s a very engaging app with great coverage of all of Massachusetts. All of the anchors are lovely and affable on air.

Videos Not Playing in News Stories
I’m experiencing an issue where videos embedded in news stories no longer play. This appears to be a recent problem, as playback was working previously.
My trusted source
Ever since the station was begun I have enjoyed and trusted your local programming most especially your news and weather. In this age of misinformation and pandering to petty bullies and government officials yours is a voice of integrity and reason.
Please fix

Too many Ads!!
Every news article starts with an Ad. It’s so annoying. Today, I was trying to watch a live broadcast of a news conference on an active shooter at a college. There should never be Ads to access this type of news. Shame on you WCVB. Do better!
Great job, folks!
