WRKO found a temporary fix to stream Howie Carr, at
least, using the site of WKBK in Keene. (Their owner
apparently hasn't shut down streaming; at least not
yet). But the rest of WRKO's shows, including VB's, 
cannot be heard via streaming.

A similar problem occurred when Stephanie Miller
(whose affiliates included WRKO; her show ended in
the summer of 2000, I think) was unable to stream
her show, as flagship KABC had cancelled it
(but it could still be heard elsewhere via
syndication). Stephanie's site had a link to a station
in Shreveport which still ran the show.
While it wasn't a case of being unable to stream due
to copyright issues, it does show that a syndicated
show can still try to get itself streamed on the
Web, despite such problems.
