If you can usually listen to CHUM FM online and today you are experiencing an issue there may be a problem with the actual stream. Try reopening the Listen Online player again and if the problem persists please let us know by emailing here.

Firefox may have installed an update which may have affected the Windows Media plugin installation. To resolve we recommend visiting http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ and downloading and installing the most current version of Firefox and then reinstalling the latest Windows Media Player Firefox plugin from http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7.

If you click on the link to open the online player and nothing happens it may be the result of a pop-up blocker installed on your computer. As our online streaming opens in a new window, make sure any pop-blockers are configured to accept our streaming window.

This generally occurs when Windows Media Player isn't receiving the stream fast enough to reproduce the audio correctly on your computer. This may be related to your Internet connection speed or congestion on the Internet/network somewhere between the publishing point and your computer. If you can usually listen without a problem then the issue is most likely an Internet slowdown and in almost all cases will clear itself over a relatively short period of time. If this is an ongoing problem when you listen online, you may want to increase the size of your Windows Media Player buffer as this may improve your listening experience by eliminating some of the starts and stops.

To increase the buffer size of Windows Media Player:

Start Windows Media player.
Click <Start> <Programs> <Accessories> <Entertainment> <Windows Media Player>

Once Windows Media Player is running select <Tools> <Options>

The Options panel will now be displayed.

Click on the <Performance> tab.

In the Network Buffering section;
If the "Use default buffering (recommended)" is selected: Select <Buffer> and enter a value in seconds. Maximum 60 seconds. The draw back to increasing the buffer size is that you will have to wait longer for the actual broadcast to begin. The upside is that this should improve your listening experience.

This may be a result of the stream being blocked by a firewall either on your computer or on your network. Please ensure you configure any firewall to allow our stream and try connecting again.

Some issues with streaming internet content can be resolved by updating to or re-installing the current version of Windows Media Player.
If you continue to experience problems listening to us online please email us here.
