Mara Davis Guest Host on AM1690

I wish they would up the bitrate on the stream, it's horribly low and sounds WORSE than the worst AM radio. 1690 has a great sounding carrier for an AM extended band IF you have one of the RARE AMAX receivers with AM wide. I just can't stand to listen to low bit streams, they sound like XM. It's fine for talk radio but totally destroys MUSIC.

I figured I'd check it out, and I see what you are talking about. Even though it doesn't sound too terribly bad coming from my iPhone's speaker, but it isn't really the best sounding thing for music. Michael Jackson's Thriller was playing when I started this little test.

I'm like you that I want quality streams, but I guess I'm just going to settle for this even if it is just for 2 hours. :-\
 
Ever wake up and go through a whole day thinking it's later in the week? Yep.. I did.
So today ISN'T Friday? Lol..
I'll be tuning in on the way home.. :)
