Country 106.5 WYRK

Stream Buffalo country hits with news traffic and contests

Country 106.5 WYRK brings the spirit of Buffalo’s country scene straight to your pocket, blending live radio, local updates, and interactive features into one polished experience. If you’re a fan of today’s country and want to stay connected to what’s happening around Western New York, this app delivers almost everything you need in one place.

At its heart is the live stream of 106.5 WYRK, complete with background audio and lock-screen controls, so you can keep listening while using other apps. Support for Android Auto and Chromecast is a standout strength, making it easy to take the station with you on the road or cast it to speakers at home.

Beyond music, the app doubles as a local hub. You get Buffalo-focused news, weather, and traffic, plus a handy 5-day forecast. Push alerts for breaking news, severe weather, contests, and special shows keep you in the loop, while the Do Not Disturb modes help prevent late-night notification overload. You can also save articles for offline reading, a subtle but genuinely useful touch for commuters and travelers.

Interaction is another big plus. Direct messaging and one-tap calling to the studio make it simple to reach your favorite hosts, while built-in contests, giveaways, and scavenger hunts add an extra layer of fun. The ability to submit your own photos and videos encourages a real sense of community.

On the downside, listeners outside the Buffalo area may find the traffic and some local news less relevant, and occasional promotional alerts might feel frequent if you don’t tweak the settings. Still, for country fans—especially locals—the Country 106.5 WYRK app is a well-designed, feature-rich companion that keeps the station close wherever you are.
