New Feature: CF Radio!!!

[TomUK]

Is there a link anywhere saying what each station is about - a four letter code doesn't say very much about the music each station plays and there's quite a few currently.

 

[Manna]

This is a GREAT feature -- thanks Erwin! You're the greatest!

Up in the Navigation Bar at the top of every page is a new link - RADIO - click on it, and you can select a LIVE INTERNET RADIO station to listen to.

I will be adding more radio channels when I find time. Feel free to suggest new radio station URLs by posting them in this thread. At this stage I am interested only in CHRISTIAN internet radio stations - I've got a few default alternative rock radio stations included but please only suggest Christian ones. Link me to the website so I can check it out too.

You need to have Windows Media Player installed for the radio stations to work.

Also, please be patient when you choose a radio station - it takes a few seconds to connect.

Enjoy!

Since I use Linux, I always have a problem with proprietary protocols like .asf from Micro$oft. Fortunately, there is a way to get Microsoft Internet radio working under Linux.

First, download aviplay from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11050

Note that installation may be difficult depending upon the system you are running.

Next you will need to configure your browser helper applications as follows:

Extension: asx asf
MIME type: video/x-ms-asf
Application: /usr/local/bin/aviplay

Please note that I HAVEN'T DONE THIS YET! I have other things I am working on on my system. In addition, Erwin has hidden the exact URL's by embedding them in script. I'm not sure if the precise URL is required or if the script will work.

Added.

I was going to ask if you could add UCB Europe but the website seems to be down at the moment. Maybe it'll be back soon and you can add it?

There's also Premier Christian Radio for us Brits.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Are you able to add KVMV FM 97? Their website is http://www.kvmv.org/ It's a shame you couldn't add K-LOVE - that's a really great station!

I can't add this as I can't find the .asx URL.

Hi Erwin, A thread brought back to life.

How about http://www.calvary.edu/kljc/index.html from Calvary Bible College and Theological Seminary. 88.5 KLJC on the dial. Contemporary Christian, Sermons, and much more.

 

[Dawn Marie]

Interesting.

I wish my local station did a web broadcast so you could add that.

WONDERFUL station.

Especially the talk show... Bob Dutko rocks.
