WOR streaming live
- Thread starter 7165red

The stream still works:
http://www.iheart.com/live/WOR-710-AM-5874/
Strange that there's no "Listen" button on the website.

No idea. They're promoting iHeart Radio pretty heavily on the air ... maybe this is a strategy to drive listeners there instead of to the website? Makes no sense because clicking on the "Listen" button on the website took listeners to iHeart anyway -- it's a "web" after all. 
But not every strategy in the radio industry makes sense!
But not every strategy in the radio industry makes sense!Home Page, in the center, right below the big pictures, and right above where you can "send a shout-out, or ask a question" There is a WOR icon, with "on Air" right next to it.
Click on the icon, it takes you to the WOR iHeart radio page.
Don't know if Clear Channel is using Akamai for WOR but this link still works:

I guess this is a timely thread. Sometime yesterday a change was made to iHeart Radio requiring "Google Chrome Frame," whatever that is. Users of Internet Explorer are required to download a plugin, other browsers apparently are OK.
I use an application called Replay AV where I can schedule shows to play at various times, in effect creating a "virtual" radio station. It opens the streams in its own player, which I believe uses parts of Windows Media Player, so of course it's stopped working. Replay AV is no longer being sold so it won't be upgraded. I've added the plugin to IE but that doesn't help. Replay Player just pops up with the message about changing browsers or adding the plugin.
Anyone know of alternate URLs into the iHeart streams?

Just go to your smartphone's App Store and download the iheartradio FREE app. There's no need to fuss with websites and antiquated computer/ laptop media players anymore. The design on iheart for your mobile device is slick, clean and gives you WOR NYC plus hundreds of live radio options at the push of a button. It's where radio is going. Infact if WOR is being streamed on any back door or third party site, or apps like Tune In or the others, look for it to be pulled as soon as CC brass finds out about it. They are funneling all of their product through iheartradio now.
You're assuming that everyone is willing to shell out $60-100 a month for the privilege of being tethered to a smartphone. And you're probably correct -- a lot of people would rather starve than have the device pried out of their hands!
That aside, the killer app would be a scheduler -- not just presets, IMO. But I've solved the iHeart streaming issue here and, I figure, I've saved about $10,000 over the past decade by not having a smartphone! Somehow I've survived. Life is good. ;D
