From the many messages we get about stations not listed on our site, the two most requested that do not stream yet are Hot 97 in New York and Power 106 in Los Angeles.
The common link between these two stations are that they are both owned by Emmis Communications. Emmis, up until recently was dead set against streaming, blaming the added royalty costs associated with putting terrestrial programming online. But after investors criticised Emmis for their lack of streaming, a fundamental element of radio's digital presence, Emmis changed their mind and signed up with Stream Audio to stream their stations online.
Movin 93.9 in Los Angeles became the first Emmis owned music station to stream followed by Q101 and The Loop in Chicago, their Indianapolis based stations and a few of their Austin stations.
However progress seems to have stalled and some of Emmis's largest stations such as Power 106 and Hot 97's sister stations 98.7 Kiss FM and CD101.9. Hopefully getting their remaining stations online will become a priority.
Due to a recent lack of free time we've not been able to update the site as much as we would have liked resulting a noticeable number of broken links and a hefty backlog of messages to go through. If you've sent us a message in the last month and not had a response, you're message isn't getting ignored and if we haven't updated the station entry if needed already then it will get done soon.
Another issue we're dealing with is the reliability of the proxy services we're using to allow international users to listen to Clear Channel stations. It seems that some services are less reliable than others resulting in a number of malfunctioning pop-up players. So now we're replacing them with two links, a regular one for those lucky enough to live in the United States and a link labelled International, which uses a proxy service. If you find any pop-up players that aren't functioning then please let us know using feedback form.
