How to Listen Live to 88.1 The 'Burg

Updated

To listen live to 88.1 The 'Burg, open 881theburg.com and use the LISTEN LIVE section on the site; the same page also offers live video through a Watch Now option. This works for anyone with a browser and an internet connection — no app or account is mentioned on the site, so the website itself is the starting point.

Steps to start listening

  1. Go to 881theburg.com in your browser.
  2. Find the LISTEN LIVE heading on the page.
  3. Start playback from the controls in that section. The page also shows a Live Video area with a Watch Now button if you prefer to watch rather than only listen.
  4. If you want to share what you're hearing or watching, use the share controls on the player: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, or Copy Link (the page confirms "Link Copied" after copying).

Other things you can do from the same page

The site isn't only a player — the same page lists several request and feedback options:

  • Want to Become A DJ? — an Apply link for listeners interested in hosting a show.
  • Need Music for an Event? — a Request link for event music.
  • How's our Music? — a Survey link to give feedback on the playlist.
  • Want a club or event Promo? — a Request link to ask for promotion.

Common snags

  • No sound: confirm playback actually started in the LISTEN LIVE area, and check that your browser tab isn't muted.
  • Video won't play: try the Watch Now button in the Live Video panel again, or reload the page.
  • Sharing the wrong thing: the player distinguishes between sharing the Whole Channel and This Video — pick the one you mean before using the social buttons or Copy Link.

The site also surfaces recent video content such as news and show segments (for example, "NEWS CENTRAL" and "Rain City Rundown" episodes) alongside the live player, so you can catch up on clips without leaving the page.
