Bloomberg radio

[clylbw]

For the past two days I have had difficulties in listening to the Bloomberg radio online. The programme was frequently disrupted; today there was a four-and-half-hour delay, e.g. I could only receive 6:30 am EST programme at 11:00 am EST.

I wonder whether the problem was caused by my ADSL connection, which seemed to work fine in all other applications, or whether others were also in similar circumstances? Many thanks.

Ive had the same problem recently when trying to listen to various radio stations via the net
through WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER.

Ive been told this may be due to my media player and is probably a media applications problem , i.e my broadband is fast but the player is slow .
If I manage to solve my problem i'll be sure to post the fix :-0

WHAT WOULD SCOOBY DOO!!!!

Prefer CNBC audio myself (also free). In the morning its useless for news in Europe as they break on the half hour, and so they come back from ads saying 'and the BoE has just announced...', but the US show is much more professional (there's a surprise) - ad breaks are timed just before the half hour so they have someone breaking the news live - no significant delay as far as I can tell, but then if I'm trading news I do it through the price action anyway. They'll also carry big stuff like Bernanke speeches live.

JOC, have you got a link for CNBC audio?

Sure - go to the CNBC homepage and a link to 'Listen Live' at the bottom of the page fires up Windows Media:
