TheBlast.FM stations recently changed streaming addresses for better connectivity from our main encoding site in Portland.
Streams are now hosted in San Diego and are much smoother, as internet routing changes had made the connection from Portland to the Washington, D.C. metro much less stable.
If you are listening on a third party media player, app or system on which TheBlast.FM stations don’t seem to be working anymore, and you can load our new streaming addresses manually, those are found here: https://www.theblast.fm/home/all-streams-all-major-media-players/
Please notify us of any stream aggregators you use that need to be updated with streaming addresses.
Each purple circle represents one listener location over the last 9 days of us testing some new listener geo-mapping software. Most of the world is completely blanketed, sans Siberia, The Outback, northern Canada, Greenland, central Asia, parts of Africa and Antarctica. This is composite picture of listening on all 4 of TheBlast.FM stations.

If you had trouble recently listening to TheBlast.FM radio stations with our HTML5 players labeled 128k, 64k and 32k on our websites, those troubles are gone, as we have upgraded our streams to make them HTTPS-compliant.
The streaming addresses have also been updated in our Android, iOS, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire and Blackberry apps so you may need to restart those apps to make sure the new stream addresses are loaded. The old streaming addresses will go away soon.
We have a request in to our Windows/XBox/Alexa Skills app developer to change the addresses in those apps.
