I'll check on the MTA. It is an old Mythbuntu install. (Ever so slowly moving to a new box.)
The URL is Nashville 1510 AM through iHeart Radio, found by digging through the HTML. Been working for months when I "tune in" to Coast to Coast AM on occasion at night. A more advanced version would read the HTML and pull the URL at run time, in case it changes. Haven't gotten to, or needed, that yet. Trying from the command line was new but verified I finally got working parameters Wednesday. Escaping the %'s in Cron got it working through cron, for now.
