Thanks. I'll try that, but I don't think that's it. I'm getting a buffering advise and then the "counter" starts (33kbit stream)...so I think I'm getting the stream from the station just fine. I think it's just that there is nothing there to get. I'm just worried that someone at the station forgot to turn it on to feed the broadcast to the web host and therefore the stream is just dead air.

Edited to add that their troubleshooting page gives this link to test if your firewall or anti-virus is the problem:

...and I get that station just fine.

Never Mind

I just called the station and they told me they are currently broadcasting a ball game that they aren't allowed to stream over the web. So it should be back up after the game.
