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."

    I do feel sorry for USA and their people who elected GWB this time (Well I couldn't say again because he wasn't elected 2000). I now really believe that most US-Americans are totally undereducated.

    You know, the CBC is not the Bush campaign. You can also listen to it if you don't live in Canada. :-)

    Wow, you really make Canada sound nice. As a Canadian I normally don't like to jump on the "we're better than you Americans" bandwagon but your post really makes Canada look progressive and civilized. Compared to the four years of militaristic, police state, religious-monarchy hell that America is due for.

    And do you decide where your hard earned tax dollars are spent? Do you decide of your dollars spent bombing Iraqi children?
