WDRC, if I'm not mistaken, is not owned by CBS...

WDRC-AM and FM are owned by Buckley Broadcasting and not CBS.

Right, and none of their stations stream. DRC-FM's stream (which used to be on broadcast.com) was killed on the day AFTRA and SAG won rights to additional royalties for voice work by unionized talent in radio ads streamed over the Internet, in the spring of 2001. It's never come back.

Actually, WOR in NYC does stream, I just figured I'd try it and it does seem to be working right now, the properties show the connection at http://nyc03.egihosting.com/wor in Windows Media Player, if that doesn't work, you'll have to just click on the popup link at http://www.wor710.com

I think AFTRA & SAG were right. Shouldn't talent get paid?

Should have said "none of their MUSIC stations." I just remembered that DRC-AM streams, or used to stream, at talkofconnecticut.com well after 2001. However, DRC-FM, WSEN (Syracuse classic hits/oldies station) and the chain's other music-formatted stations don't stream. Must have been a combination of having to fork out more in fees for both music and advertising that prompted management to adopt the policy.
