    As a former Entercom employee, StreamAudio does have the capacity to 
block local spots, but at least in the Rochester cluster that feature was 
not up and running yet, as the over the air signal was being webcast 100% of 
the time (only one station in that cluster was even webcasting last I knew). 
  My guess is that Rochester is/was not the only Entercom market where this 
situation existed, and they just aren't willing to spend money on streaming 
audio now, so instead they just yanked all the streams to avoid the issue 
altogether...
