Catch a video of Grave Robber from Kingdom Come Festival 2021 on TheBlast.FM’s Rumble channel:
A car accident near the San Diego data center where our main streams are hosted caused a block-wide power outage, knocking our main streams off the air.
Use this stream address in Winamp or VLC Media Player to Implode in the meantime:
This stream is now in our Android, iOS, and Roku apps in the third position, notated as 128k!!!
So the others may have dead air, but this is hosted on the other side of the USA and has live streaming audio.
TheBlast.FM stations recently changed streaming addresses for better connectivity from our main encoding site in Portland.
Streams are now hosted in San Diego and are much smoother, as internet routing changes had made the connection from Portland to the Washington, D.C. metro much less stable.
If you are listening on a third party media player, app or system on which TheBlast.FM stations don’t seem to be working anymore, and you can load our new streaming addresses manually, those are found here: https://implosion.theblast.fm/home/other-streams/
Please notify us of any stream aggregators you use that need to be updated with streaming addresses.
On our brother station, The Blast, Colin Cruz interviews War of Ages on Wednesday. The band enjoys airplay on both The Implosion and The Blast, with the heaviest tracks landing only on The Implosion. On the Colin Cruz Radio Show, Colin will chat with lead singer Leroy Hamp. Listen at 12 Noon (USA/Canada/Mexico Central Time) on https://TheBlast.FM
If you had trouble recently listening to TheBlast.FM radio stations with our HTML5 players labeled 128k, 64k and 32k on our websites, those troubles are gone, as we have upgraded our streams to make them HTTPS-compliant.
The streaming addresses have also been updated in our Android, iOS, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire and Blackberry apps so you may need to restart those apps to make sure the new stream addresses are loaded. The old streaming addresses will go away soon.
We have a request in to our Windows/XBox/Alexa Skills app developer to change the addresses in those apps.
So, Google has decided to make life difficult for streaming radio and its listeners. The station won’t play in our HTML5 players on Chrome 80.
Well, guess what? You CAN listen to TheBlast.FM radio stations via our HTML5 players in these browsers: Brave, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Microsoft Edge, and probably a host of others.
On on any Windows 10 desktop or laptop computer, download the free TheBlast.FM Windows 10 app.
The Windows 10 app now supports our lyrics, album art and song ratings features!
If you are trying to listen on a phone or tablet, use Duck Duck Go, Firefox or download TheBlast.FM app in lieu of using the HTML5 players.
