How to listen and/or watch the products issued by hurricanecity & WABN. since 1998 all of the audio & video products were produced in real audio format. As of 2007 we are now producing all live feeds with windows media services accessable with windows media player.The old recorded clips are still on the websites in real format. This page is set up to explain certain settings to allow optimum performance while watching these products.

Why do I need real player?As of 2007 you no longer need real player to watch the live feed, but you should still be able to watch with real player. Many new computers sold, only come loaded with "windows media player"so we decided to switch to this formats as "real player" does not come loaded on most machines.
You can download windows media player to access our live feed. Try reconnecting again to the live broadcast here or try the stand alone player & see if it makes a difference

UH OH it wont work Some operating systems such as windows XP have security settings. Click on start on your lower left hand screen and go to control panel. Click on network connections,then right click on local area connection. Click on properties then the advanced tab and click on settings button. When this window opens click on the exceptions tab. Look for real player or windows media player in the list and make sure the box is checked,close out of this & try again. You may need to reboot your computer!. If you are running an appliance firewall of some sort you may need to allow "realplay.exe" or windows media player.You should be able to use either player at this point.

Why do I only see a black screen? You should see coverage during "live" shows such as hurricane warnings or major weather disasters,otherwise you will see weather documentaries and videos. If you know a video is being shown and all you see is a black screen "happens usually with real player",here is the solution. Open the seperate windows media player then click on "tools" in the upper part of the real player. Then choose preferences and on the lower left navigation area click on "hardware". On all of your performance settings set them to half speed ,click OK(this will solve the problem). Sometimes you may get a black screen with no picture or audio and this could mean that we are not broadcasting anything at that moment. Please check back in 15 to 30 min and chances are you will see the live stream.

When to listen The live video plays 24 hrs a day and the audio /video clips are on both hurricanecity and weatheraudio archived versions. If you have not already done so,you can sign up to the mailing list to get notified of the next live event. Most of the live shows are not archived & only portions are recorded.Type your email address in box to get notified of the next (LIVE) show on the audio broadcast.
