New Streaming Page Because of Supporters Like You

To better serve your online streaming needs, WNCU has a new streaming page provided by NPR Digital Services.   Many of you have saved a link to our live internet stream on a Winamp or iTunes player and it contains something called a .pls file or looks for the URL or in other words, a web address that connects you directly to our stream via your desktop or laptop. If you have recently experienced difficulty connecting to our new stream, there is a simple fix for the issue.   Click the “listen live” button and select the MP3 (.m3u) or iTunes (.pls) option.  Then, follow the steps that you used originally to save the link or .pls file on your media player. The MP3 option now works on Windows Media Player and Winamp.

This move forward in technology is all about providing a better overall listening experience and adding interactive content to your visits on our website.  We thank you for your support and look forward to serving you for another 16 years.
