College stations are now coming back online in the US and worldwide - we expect most will be back by end of October. Some are doing test broadcasts so please be patient - it's worth the wait!
The recent attacks on Windows servers downed a number of broadcasters worldwide but these also quickly going live again.

New version of site is now live - it should work with all recent browsers. Opera users may have to upgrade as Version 6 has some bugs.
The site, with the exception of one page, is now designed to HTML4.01 Transitional.
The number of problem sites is slowly reducing and hopefully will be back to normal within a few weeks. This is outside of our control.
CrHear in continued growth will be shortly launching another new site. Keep your eyes and ears here.

Many channels are showing now having server problems. In the US, one of the major companies that supply web broadcasting services to radio stations is rumoured to be closing. A number of Religious broadcasters using the same company are not broadcasting at the moment.
The new site is now being tested for browser compatability for final changes.
Aug 18, 2003
In the last few days more and more channels are showing server problems - mabe its the summer holidays but the recent windows virus attack seems to be part of the problem.
The channels affected are worldwide and are failing at twice the normal rate - we usuallly have a 97% success rate, which given alll the different time zones worldwide is pretty good.
We are hard at work upgrading the CrHear site to the latest standards - these should give more access to recent browsers.
