ERRS Web Stream Information

• How Does It Work?

  The Evergreen Radio Reading Service (ERRS) audio web stream is hosted by Abacast , a web streaming service provider located in Vancouver, Washington. A digital audio signal travels from the ERRS broadcast studios at WTBBL directly to Abacast. Abacast's computers then stream the signal out to the Internet. WTBBL patrons with a computer can listen to the web stream while connected to the Internet.
