With the exception of a few brief moments of regular programming, all I get is a maddening repetition of, The station you are listening to is experiencing technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience. Your program will return in a few short moments. Please stand by.
Anyone else? Is it paranoid to wonder if they are censoring Ali Velshi?

I take it this "technical difficulty" isn't usual for you?

(102,105 posts)Most of the time, I am able to listen. I just don't think their MSNBC source stream is as stable.

(14,559 posts)Favorite is 2ndruntv.com. Usually very reliable and will stream uninterrupted for days. Not today, Very glitchy and encounters errors on their server and on my browser.
I've also used livenewsnow.com, livenewsmag.com and Planetnews.com, noneof which are as reliable as 2ndrun and they also have a lot of buffering and errors.
No idea what's going on.

(1,701 posts)I get a popup alert saying, YouTube crashed. Would you like to contribute anonymous crash reports for this and future crashes to help us fix issues like this? Yes/No
The screen behind the alert is greyed out, even though it will play the content of whatever link I clicked before the alert popped up. This has been going on for months. I dont trust the alert, so I wont click Yes/No. Sigh.
