@Rich -- I get the donk sound when I stream via Roku as well. At first I thought it was DJ multitasking on laptops, then it was too consistent...

Frankly, this is the problem with management having a fetish for absolutely 100% live radio instead of settling for a prerecorded show from a few hours ago that would play more reliably. A lot of DJs' home internet connections are just not up to it. Oh well.
