If you enjoy listening to DRC-FM online, you should be aware that due to
the American Federation of Television and Radio Artist's streaming fee
demands for commercials using union talent, Buckley Broadcasting has
chosen to suspend all Internet streams until further notice. We
apologize for any inconvenience that this causes. For more information:

So could AFTRA's demands conceivably end all streaming of commercial
radio? I'd imagine this kills the New Britain Rock Cats' streaming
plans. 

What happens if the companies that own MLB flagship stations decide to
follow Buckley's lead and get off the Internet? Can MLB obligate them to
supply a stream, as it does with Infiniy for Mets games on WFAN?
