New Streaming Addresses; You May Need To Force Stop On App
TheBlast.FM stations are migrating to new streaming addresses. The new addresses are on our websites, in the HTML5 players, and in the apps. They were added just ahead of Midnight USA/Canada Central Time last night.
As of this writing, about 40% of our current-listening audience is on the old stream addresses. You may need to force stop on TheBlast.FM app and re-open it. You may also need to clear the cache in your webpage. If the 32k stream is gone, you should be on the latest incarnation of the app/webpage.
The 32k stream is gone, at least for now.
This streaming address change is due to the Sound Exchange royalty reports generation issue. We are trying a somewhat DIY approach, still streaming with our long term legacy streaming provider that required certain add-on software, and required different streaming addresses.
