I really like this app, but I would like a way to make the push notifications silent. I don't want my phone making noise everytime there's a notification. My other news stations allow silent push notifications so that I can see the icon & preview the message, but I don't have my phone making sounds. If it's not fixed I may have to uninstall.

App sucks, mostly because WCYB lacks the skill to support a steaming service. It says Live when nothing is being broadcast, for instance. Forced to use WJHL because WCYB, which I prefer, sucks so bad at this and is not available when I want to watch the news.

Update this app no longer shows anything important. The only thing I can see is a white screen with schedule change or local in red letters at the top left. So basically this app is useless for me. I have already reinstall it and cleared the cache and no improvements. I like the older app better. What I hate about this one was a force update because the old app won't work and all the advertisements the old one had none.
