I think its absolutely painful that the industry is so F'ed up that a radio station can't stream a commercial.

I really do find it appalling that the voice talent insists on being further compensated because they're being heard on the Internet. It's like they're banding together in an attempt to thwart this "new" technology. Hmm...
Anyway, these days, voice talent should be lucky to be working at all. Stingy pricks!

Actually the webcast is really one of the better ones I've heard. Most of the time a lot of streams involve buffering every few moments. It's actually pretty clear.
As far as breaks go, other stations I listen to are far worse. They repeat things just as much if not leave dead silence. <P ID="signature">______________

You're right on the buffering, even on my college connection which maxes out at 20k/sec during the day when everyone's on
I guess when you're working @ a college station hearing PSAs every stop set you don't want to hear more ;-)

Speaking of New Jersey 101.5
Boy they got screwed over buying thousands of dollars worth of television broadcast equipment to simulcast Jim Gearhart's morning show on CN8 The Comcast Network and now it's just sitting there collecting dust.

Seems to me like 101.5 should try to make some deals with an assortment of public access channels rather than one big one... then at least if one pulled them it'd still go to use.
Of course, most of those I guess they'd have to go via comcast anyway?
Perhaps a studio cam feed on the website?
