Barry is absolutely, positively, indisputably and totally correct. CKRW 
hasn't disappeared and is still happily AM'ing and FM'ing according to the 
station.

As to the streaming audio part, the toughest part won't be hearing CKRW over 
the air but rather in hearing the streaming audio. Neither telephones nor 
cable Internet access have made it to the Grayland Motel yet. Portzer has 
erected a special yagi at Grayland to try cellular Internet service, with a 
whopping 10 kb per second to show for his troubles.

We do however have indoor plumbing and television.
