Strange Occurrence

D

DougD

I was listening a few minutes ago to the CBC webstream from Halifax, when all of a sudden the stream was interrupted --- (overwhelmed would be a better word, as the stream didn't actually cut out --- by an advertisement touting Kissimmee, Florida, as a winter vacation destination ("Visit Kissimee.com.")

I've never had this happen before, and am baffled by it. Has anyone else out there known this to occur?
It didn't come from the CBC, as the network is noncommercial.

Probably accidental; some sort of routing hickup. There is some stream server software can be easily "hijacked", especially if the stream host doesn't set up securely. But I doubt CBC would any service that inept.

where you browsing the web at the time? It's possible you hit a website with an embedded flashtype audio ad... Those seem to be popular with a lot of websites. (Some are nasty enough that you slighty mouse over a banner ad and you get unwanted audio)
