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!

Hi TAM,
There is a bit of a trick to finding the correct link for some webradio stations. If you try to use the link from a web browser live player it will not work. What you need to search for are direct streaming links. Almost all streaming stations have them, but sometimes they are buried in a far off section of the station's web page! You want a streaming link that ends in either M3U or PLS. If the link you find has one of those extensions but still won't play, check to see if the beginning of the URL is http:// or
https://. I have found that sometimes changing from https to http will get the link to work. Listening to webradio stations from around the globe is something I really enjoy and regularly introduces me to new music, and it's all FREE! Have fun!
