Anybody Recognize This Old Stream URL?

J

Josh Owens

Some years ago, I had (apparently) written down what appears to be (possibly) a radio station stream's URL. My oldest son just found that paper in an album cover (that's the short version) and I was wondering, does anybody recognize this?


Now that I look at it again while typing, it apparently was a Windows Media Audio stream for a Gospel station, given the first and last parts of the URL. Something else is clicking back in the back of mind about this and I should remember more than what I do right now, but if anybody else can spur things along, that'd be great. As I've said before, it's all back there: all it takes is one though to trigger it LOL.
 
This is probably too long ago for a young guy like myself to have known about when this station was a thing. Was it for a local radio station in your area or was this online only?

It was a while ago and I can't remember which it was for, that's why I'm asking. If memory serves me correctly, now that I think about it, I believe I wrote it down when I was using InternetSpeech, which was an over-the-phone internet service. I remember listening to some streams thereon and for some reason, the old WPTP-LP, which was in Marble, NC comes to mind, so this may have been from them.
 
ChatGPT thinks

KFGN – “Forgiven Radio” (FM 89.7)
📍 Phoenix, Arizona

I dunno whether a look around the wayback machine would prove it but it might

This must be internet only. The only 89.7 in the Phoenix, AZ area has always been a translator for Classical KBAQ.

Probably, it's rather scary knowing members are basing facts on what chatGPT is telling them, without checking first if it's true.

Amen. Somewhere, in the back of my mind, I am relating this to the old WPTP-LP, Marble, NC, but once again, dunno if I'm remembering correctly or not.

Oh I don't trust it for a moment. Which is why I suggested trying to verify via the wayback machine. AI is infamous for hallucinating.

If you don't trust it for a minute, why'd ya post it? Wayback Machine? Are you talking about archive.org? I believe the only other places I've heard of such, are two old TV shows.
