How to Find and Add/Repair Missing Streams on Skytune Radios

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Rich, who shares the following tip:

Thomas,

Have noticed a few posts recently about Internet radio, the most recent about the C. Crane version.

I own the C. Crane radio and an Ocean Digital, and both use the Skytune aggregator.

Frequently, stations will just stop working, and while I have had limited luck using the inspect function in Chrome to see the HTML code, it’s not a sure thing. Recently, while trying to repair a feed, I stumbled across this on the Skytune Facebook page.

By using the Radio stream URL search engine, you can enter the station call sign, and it will show you the streaming link, which you can copy and enter into the Skytune radio by using its local IP address on your network.

I have corrected several today and added a few stations that are not listed on Skytune, and I thought others would find this useful.

Thank you so much for the useful tip, Rich!

I used to use an Internet radio when I lived in Southeast Asia and wanted to wake up to, as was my practice, hearing Chicagoland news via WBBM 780 kHz. The C Crane radio was a godsend!

Rich,

I have used the Radio Stream site and it is a great resource.

One Note: iHeart Media Radio Stations do NOT appear when searched for. For example, if you enter WHAS it will say No Station Found. I tried several other iHeart Media Stations and couldn’t find any that appears. Apparently iHeart wants you to only use their web page or app for streaming. I haven’t found a way to discover the direct URL for iHeart Stations.

Okay. I did a little more searching and found that I could find the iHeart stations and stream url on
https://fmstream.org/
I takes a little bit of work to figure out the URL address. And I’m not sure if iHeart changes these addresses very often. I put a couple of stations in my CustomRadioPlayer and will see how long they stay current. I have found that some stations change their Stream URL every so often and you have to re-search for what the new URL is.
