Does any other broadcaster stream this high?
we did 128k last night, only cause i didnt change it down. i use 128k for SNT, as 128k is the minimum .mp3 format that is acceptable for a music oriented show.for a talk show with just bumpers 64k would be fine.
.there are others codecs (.aac for example) that can go to a much lower bitrate and still sound good, but .mp3 is ubiquitous and well supported by everything. the others, not so much.
