"WOStreaming" URL Sunsets; Replaced by "AmperWave"

[pjc1961]

On 10/25/2023, I noticed when attempting to access streams I had set up with "live.wostreaming.net" within their URL,
the streams no longer worked.
I had a feeling that this would happen someday when Audacy acquired Wide Orbit streaming in October 2021,
renaming the service "AmperWave".

The acquisition, recently hinted at by Audacy, Inc. in an SEC fiing, gives the company formerly known as Entercom control of the WideOrbit digital audio tech business. President/CEO David Field says it "perfectly complements" Audacy's organic investments to make the company’s digital platform a...

Thus, when Audacy unveiled their refreshed mobile app, they switched over from using "streamtheworld.com" for their streams to "live.amperwave.net".
The writing was on the wall; we just didn't know if or when Audacy would force all streams that had the old streaming URL to comply with the new URL configuration.

So, here's an example that can be applied to all formerly-working "wostreaming" URLs (copy + paste URLs in to media players):

For WKXW-FM-101.5 Trenton, NJ:

Old non-working streaming URL: >http://live.wostreaming.net/direct/townsquare-wkxwfmaac-ibc3<

New working streaming URL: >http://live.amperwave.net/direct/townsquare-wkxwfmaac-ibc3<

In addition to streaming URLs, v7 Player URL addresses are affected,
as in the example of WMRX-FM "Sunny 97.7" Beaverton, Michigan.

Old non-working v7 player link: >https://v7player.wostreaming.net/8348<

New working v7 player link: >player.amperwave.net/8348<

**********************

Internet / WiFi radios may need updating if the old URLs are still programmed in.
I don't know how it works; hopefully there's an "automatic update" of sorts
that would have redirected to the new URLs already.

Many thanks for this! This morning I noticed that KTPK Classic County's stream wasn't working. So I just switched the URL to amperwave and all is good! Much appreciated. 😊
