All of a sudden cannot hear certain radio stations on computer!

I hope someone can help please.

I've been listening to LBC radio on my computer for the past few years and now, all of a sudden, I can't. :(

When I click on the listen live button, all it keeps saying is "opening" and nothing happens. I've left it "opening" for about 5 minutes and it's completely dead. The same thing happens with Talksport, but I can hear the BBC radio stations.

Any ideas please? I love listening to my LBC overnight :o

I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I have changed my wireless router recently..... should that make a difference?

    Hi
    LBC is playing OK for me with Firefox browser.
    I don't know why it won't load for you though.

    If you want to play LBC using a media player such as VLC this is the link:-
    mms://mediasrv-sov.musicradio.com/LBC973?MSWMExt=.asf
    
    Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

    Thanks very much for that - I'm now listening to LBC with Firefox too :T

    I wonder why I can't do it through their website anymore? :huh:
