Update 2: WNRIR is now on the Public Radio Tuner as well! Now we just need WCVE and we’ll be all set!
Update: WNRN is now on the Public Radio Tuner app as seen in the comments and used by me this morning. Go WNRN!
This weekend I found out about the Public Radio Tuner app for the iPhone. It’s a very cool app and will get some use here. Unfortunately it doesn’t have any of the local public radio stations on it. So I took it upon myself to figure out how to listen to them and here is what I came up with:
Install the free FStream app from the App Store. Setup the following stations in your favorites:
Name: WRIR
URL: http://wrir.serverroom.us:7722/wrir
Name: WCVE
URL: http://208.80.52.126/WCVE
URL: http://amber.streamguys.com:4500/wcvehd1
Name: WCVE2
URL: http://amber.streamguys.com:4500/wcve
Name: WNRN
URL: mms://audio.musictoday.com/wnrn
URL: http://broadcast.wnrn.org:8000/wnrn.mp3
They all seem to work pretty well and it’s nice to be able to stream them from anywhere. Just thought I’d share that with anyone else who may care.
awesome, thanks!
We’re glad you like the Tuner app, and glad it made you want your local stations so much that you created a custom presence for them!
We encourage people to contact their local public radio stations and ask them to submit their streams to the Tuner project.
If you do that, you can point them to our Guide for Stations at http://www.publicradiotuner.org.
Hey Rekha, thanks for stopping by. I contacted the 3 stations and asked them to get on the app and sent them links. The only one that responded was WNRN and they are the one whose stream won’t work. They are switching to an MP3 stream soon though and then will get on it.
WNRN has switched to an mp3 stream now and we have been added to the app! Thanks for suggesting it.
God love public radio and public radio tuner.
WNRN now has its very own iPhone app!
