Thank you sir!!
I managed to get CKNW to work from vtuner & that is the important one.
KGMI & KOH are a no go from vtuner - unable to decode error, but I'll work on it later after a Guinness or 2 tonight. Actually the pre-programmed Californian station 560 KFSO carries all of the talk programs that I listen to & is in the same time zone. Interestingly, KTIE 590 in the same provided list will not decode & it isn't carried by vtuner.
There are so many streaming services that it is hard to stumble on the correct one so thanks for the tip.
Maybe I can put away my kitchen radio now, ha!
