Are they even doing that during their national program feeds like Limbaugh or Savage? A lot of those guys prohibit local stations from streaming their shows on the web, on the premise that carriage on the websites of the big blowtorches might draw audience away from their local broadcast affiliates in different markets. (IIRC Limbaugh has been especially tough on this.)

The big question here is why an AM talk station is bothering to stream in stereo, especially when I'm sure much of the talk content is sent to stations in mono anyway.
That being said, I'm sure there are perhaps tens of people who want to listen to Lonsberry outside of the area. Maybe even two dozen.

Uh-huh. Perhaps you forgot about those who want to listen but can't because they're in a building that effectively blocks AM signals.

You also forgot about his "family" in Salt Lake City. How many wives & children want to hear the sound of Daddy's voice?

That's called a "feature." How many offices want to hear Bob Laaaaannnsssberry going across the cubicles when you can listen instead to the warm and irrelevent Warm 101.3?

Re: WHAM Streaming Audio Problems
While listening to WHAM via the Internet the other day I noticed they have some streaming problems that should be addressed.
Has anyone else experienced the sound levels dropping in and out?
Another thing I noticed is that the 12 o’clock news sounded over modulated with a lot of reverb.
