WABC resumes Audio Streaming on the Internet

Dear Loyal Listener:

WABC has resumed audio streaming over the internet. You may now listen to WABC by going to wabcradio.com, and clicking on the "Listen Live" icon with the flashing radio tower at the top of the homepage.

WABC has been silent on the internet for almost a year, due to restrictions placed on audio streaming content by outside sources. We have been working hard to eliminate content that is no longer allowed. The audio stream you will hear will be altered somewhat from what WABC listeners will hear over the radio. We will not stream music that is not internet approved, or commercials that are not designed for an internet specific audience. In it's place, you will hear internet approved music, internet approved commercials, and silence. If you year silence, just wait. That means WABC is broadcasting material you are not approved to hear over the internet. If your timer is still counting, you have not lost the stream. It will resume.

WABC is also not streaming shows we do not own. Syndicated programs like Rush Limbaugh or Dr. Dean Edell, who are owned by outside companies will not be streamed. WABC's popular local shows like Curtis and Kuby, John Gambling, Sean Hannity and others will be streamed live as they happen, and then again repeated to replace those shows we do not have rights to stream.

Thanks for being patient with us during this difficult time.

Phil Boyce
Program Director

For those that don't want to have to go through the web site (and I don't blame you; it's one of the worst-designed sites on the web), the direct URL is:

It's RealAudio format.
