[BC] Certain Spots Blocked From The Internet

[Tom Dimeo]

What exactly is the reason stations can't allow certain spots 
to be on their Internet stream?

Since John Gambling has been back on WOR I've been listening 
on the Internet a little almost every morning.  Last week I 
noticed that a couple days they would run something else 
instead of Bill O'reilly's talking points during the 7:00 
news and I thought there were different spots at various 
times too.  Then, I think it was last Friday, O'reilly was 
back so I didn't give it much additional thought.

Then yesterday, the different spots were very noticeable and 
O'reilly was also replaced (very strange to hear Joe Bartlett 
say here's Bill O'reilly's talking points and then listening 
to PSAs for two or two and a half minutes.

This morning, the Internet stream was apparently playing the 
spots intended to be played on air and the rest of the time 
there was silence, guess the computer was doing the reverse 
of what it should have been doing.  I then tuned in later and 
program matterial was being played and there was silence 
during many of the spots.

Kind of interesting that John Gambling has talked about 
broadcasting on occasion and has said that Internet 
Broadcasting and WIFI will replace over the air broadcasting 
one of these days, never mentioning HD radio.

To me, just someone who loves AM radio, it seems like the 
radio industry does everything up side down.
