Pleased to finally be able to report this.
All of CBC Radio’s live streams (Radio One and Radio Two) are now being delivered as mp3 streams!
The MotherCorp made the change from the older wma (windows media audio) codec for several reasons, not the least of which was that some listeners on Macs had trouble listening to the streams.
With the new mp3 streams, listening is brower/OS agnostic. The new streams have been added to the iTunes Radio Directory, and the CBC iPhone App.
I run the CBC group on Facebook and a couple of weeks ago, I ran a survey to see what people thought of the changes to CBC News Network (formerly CBC Newsworld). Lots of people thought the shows were being deliberately “down-programmed” to a younger audience. I’m not a stats expert by any stretch, so make your own decision about what the numbers say.
Remember, this survey is not scientifically designed.
Only 102 people respondents and they were self-selected.
The top line represents “I like it” (averages never went into “I love it” territory); the lowest line means “I hate it.”
