Ratings and reviews

Crashes using Android 14. Used to work perfectly well, but now trying to play one of the channels just crashes the app. They have "c-span now" but I can't use it to listen to just the audio stream unless I have a cable TV package... Which I don't. "Now" does do the video stream without that, but it would be nice to be able to stream audio instead while away from a WiFi network...

C-Span Radio provides audio streams of 90.1 WCSP-FM in Washington, DC, and the C-Span TV channels, as well as access to C-Span's podcast library. It's an excellent resource for topical non-fiction content, and I strongly recommend it. Some users have experienced interruption using the latest version, as I have done. I have resolved this by checking background battery and network settings on Android, and note that using a hidden WiFi network can also cause problems. Stick with it, and good luck.
