Canadian Public Radio Streaming Ogg Vorbis

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the because-it-covers-vast-distances dept.

d00dman writes "CBC Radio, Canada's major national public broadcaster is now streaming in ogg/vorbis. Recently CBC had switched from realmedia streams to windows media streams for their radio broadcasts. After receiving a plethora of complaints, suggesting ogg/vorbis as an alternative, CBC has begun a test ogg stream of the toronto stations. They boast in their ogg FAQ that they're encoding with oddcast and streaming with icecast."

    Canadian Paradise - where neo-hippies can avoid the draft, get stoned all day, have free unfettered sex, whine about global issues and leech off the government!
