Re: Audacy/Radio/CBS .coms

BPA had it almost correct.  Thanks for the lead.


I found that Audacy has purchased streaming rights from WideOrbit
Digital Audio Streaming.

I also learned that the new URLs for the several stations I listen to
are as follows:

http://live.wostreaming.net/direct/audacy-knxammp3-imc
http://live.wostreaming.net/direct/audacy-kfrchd2mp3-imc
http://live.wostreaming.net/direct/audacy-kcbsammp3-imc
http://live.wostreaming.net/direct/audacy-koolhd3mp3-imc

It appears that the actual station call letters are combined with a
verbal branding phrase that you would hear during a broadcast and/or
some branding words or phrases you could see on the Audacy web site for
the station.

For example, Kool’s brand ‘saying’ is now "KOOL HD3" -- this
distinguishes it from the other KOOL iterations.  Same with KFRC-HD2. 
In the case of KNX, for example, for decades it was an AM station
branded with the phrase, "KNX AM 1070".  (Now, it is also FM).

So, if you have a station you want to use as a favorite, you’ll have to
play around a little with the letters that follow the station call
letters to get your URL.  If you have listened to the station for a long
time, you might have it in your memory from hearing it so often.  Or,
not!!

Interesting that they are not https.  And look a little odd.  They do
work fine and even on the old tech SoundBridge R-1000 radio which can
only use URLs to play the internet radio without using SlimServer.
