No; it's the WRN on-demand options that are closing.

In theory, the streaming is available from the IBA website
<http://iba.org.il/world/>, which has options for "Live Reka" (which if
I remember correctly is all of the various non-Hebrew services), "Live
Persian 17:00" and "TV IBA News" at the top, and "Recorded Programs"
below.

It's those I couldn't get to play.  However, today I was actually able
to get something that looks like a media player with a play button, a
slider for how far along the audio is, and the volume, to appear in that
black rectangle, although I can't get the audio to play.  The diagnostic
claims I need Microsoft Silverlight, which I thought I had on this
computer, but apparently not.  I have no idea if the Kol Israel
streaming will work for non-Windows computers.

(That having been said, I'd prefer downloadable audio; considering that
most of this stuff is spoken-word news I don't get all the
pearl-clutching over rights issues.)
