• Firewall software on your computer or network: If you are on a network where the network administrator could have blocked streaming or restricted the bandwidth available for streaming, please contact them.
• Pop up blocker or anti-virus program on your computer: Many firewall, anti-virus, and pop-up software packages block streaming.

• Something on the Internet is broken: We are utilizing a number of providers and they are connected all over the web. Once in a while traffic from one or more of our stations can be affected by a bad router or connection at one of these intermediate connections.
• We are rebooting the server for maintenance or upgrades: This is not a likely occurrence. We rarely take the servers down during busy times. Outages would only last about 3 minutes.
• Is the volume up on your speakers?
