Thank you for choosing to listen to CD101 online!  We are utilizing the Liquid Compass Streaming Media Network to broadcast its signal to the Internet.  During the broadcast, you may notice periods of intermittent interruptions, or silence, which is normal.  These periods of silence are covering local on-air commercials, which we are not allowed to broadcast over the internet.  Please be assured that you have not lost the stream, as the broadcast should resume after the commercial set is over (commercial sets vary from two to five minutes long).
