WWIQ Stream?

DToTheJ

Based on the URL's for the sister Merlin stations, presumably, it should be this:
http://204.209.255.119/WWIQFMAAC

Also, did you know that the WWIQ call letters were first used in the Atlanta area on 96.5 FM when it first signed on?
 
Uh huh, but the stream link you gave doesn't work, and replacing it with KDN doesn't work either.
Are you sure they are streaming, or is this suppose to be for a later date.
 
I never said that I had a working stream; rather, a proposed streaming URL, so once 106.9 does eventually start streaming, the above URL would be the likely address to listen online. You will recall WEMP in New York didn't start streaming until a month after their took over the station from Emmis.
 
Considering the station is stunting .. or off air most days since the flip from Family Radio.. I doubt they really care about streaming.. My understanding is they still are building out the actual on air studio... My guess is Merlin has other priorities than out of market listeners via the internet..

Besides if they air a lot of Syndicated fare.. I am pretty sure they have to black out shows like Rush and Hanity.. unless paying Premere for rights to stream.

WPHT streams Limbaugh, and has streamed Hannity and Beck when it was airing them. Were they paying for the right to do that? I can't imagine why they would.
 
If WPHT were to drop the Sinatra show, I wonder if WWIQ would not only pick up the show, but stream it online, as well.

I think the DMCA prohibits the streaming of too many songs by the same artist in a row.

It does, but the NAB negotiated with the RIAA and SoundExchange in return for getting rid of the so-called "performance compliment" for its members a few years ago.
 
I knew I could count on PJ for the URL-age... Thanks! Sounds very reverby...
 
I noticed that the reverb on the stream is only on the right channel and the music beds and spots are in stereo. Stations that use reverb usually have it on both channels. I guess they are doing this to get a stereo effect on the voice. Are they broadcasting in stereo or are they in Mono like their news station in New York? I'm out of signal range in New jersey so I can't listen on FM. The stream has some good separation especially with that reverb which seems a little too heavy at times.

I am only getting the radio broadcast in mono.
 
Thanks bill. i was in seaside heights last night and was able to pick it up on my car radio and it was mono. Guess it's just the stream that's in stereo.
