His career has been featured in brief retrospectives on the evening all week long. Following a stint at New Hampshire Public Broadcasting, He joined WLBZ in 1979 and shortly afterward moved to the sister station in Portland, where he has remained since. He will certainly be missed --- a truly outstanding TV journalist. Here's a link to Maine Public Broadcasting's report on this: https://bit.ly/3FiBhAR Doug Drown From obrienron2@gmail.com Mon Dec 19 09:05:57 2022 From: obrienron2@gmail.com (Ron) Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2022 09:05:57 -0500 Subject: Culling a live stream link ?

I quickly discovered that it was not easy to find a URL buried in a Listen Live link on a Web site. What you need to do is use "Developer Tools" from "More Tools" in the menu on the far right in Google Chrome. It will show you all the links that are triggered by the Listen Live button. Look for something ending in ".m3u8". Instead of the continuous stream typical of a link ending in .mp3, you'll see a succession of small files ending in .m3u8. They will be parts of an HLS stream that is typically AAC (.m4a) format. There are YouTube videos that explain this in greater detail.

Flavin was a speechwriter for Senator Ted Kennedy & Boston Mayor Kevin White before transitioning into TV in 1971, when WNAC-TV Channel 7 hired him as their political reporter. A couple of years later he went to WBZ-TV where he enjoyed a 14 year run. After leaving Channel 4 he travelled the country on the lecture circuit, and later became the poet laurate for the Boston Red Sox. Mark Watson
