KROQ Starts Streaming, Still Screws it Up

After years and years of refusing, Los Angeles based KROQ has finally started streaming their content online. But as always, the still managed to screw it up. Not only is the stream based in Windows Media and super low quality (54 kbps), but the site is so badly designed it does not work on anything except windows. After trying the site in every browser I could (Safari, Shiira, Opera, Firefox, ect. ect.) I gave up and found the stream’s url in the source.

“http://kroq-live.wm.llnwd.net/kroq_live”

UPDATE - 2/22/05
Looks like they have changed URL’s:

“http://bdcast-infinity-kroq-fm.wm.llnwd.net/bdcast_infinity_kroq-fm”

Drop that URL into Windows Media Player for mac and you too can hear The Kevin & Bean Show.
