DEAR LISTENERS,
KPFK uses "Shoutcast" to stream its live radio broadcast online.
ShoutCast streams in the MP3 format, which will play from virtually any player including: winamp, itunes, windows media, quicktime, realplayer, etc.
Our new streaming server is in place and running faster than ever. If you had previously bookmarked our stream, you may need to re-establish a link to one of our streams.
1-10-12 Special notice for users of KPFK's Online Audio Archives.
In early January 2012 KPFK moved its online archive system to a new, more reliable server. We are also using new, updated archiving software. We have gone to great lengths to make the transfer as transparent as possible, and created special codes so that podcast subscribers would continue to receive their favorite shows.
However with some podcast receiving software a few listeners are reporting issues. If you are experiencing issues make sure you are on our new archive site - http://archive.kpfk.org
NOT the old server http://archive.kpfk.org/parchive
Once there try re-subscribing to you favorite podcasts and it should clear up the issues. If you're still having issues, make sure your player is not defaulting to old bookmarks.
If you are still having issues contact webmaster [@] kpfk.org (remove the brackets and spaces, this is done to reduce spam).
