How do they do that

The blogsphere wonders how in the hell do you get a radio signal out of an island that's getting blasted by a 145 mph hurricane? Easy you use a CDN, that's correct a Content Delivery Network.
I just did a traceroute on where I the server I am listening to is located... Got to love it..Ashburn, VA, home of Verizon Business among other big ISPS.

The station we are listening to is Power 106, part of the Gleaner media empire in Jamaica. And if the "gleaner" sounds familiar to you, perhaps you have seen Thunderball lately. Yes it's James Bond.

The station is doing a great job. It's what radio does best.
