I have no TV right now, so I’ve been listening to MSNBC Cable Audio for my news.

Can anyone tell me why it only stays on for 15 minutes at a time? And how can I make it not do this? It’s getting a little annoying.

Thanks!

Okay then, try this…looking at the audio news popup box you should see three headlines - ABC, MSNBC and NEWSWEEK. Once the first little 3 minute snippet stops, click on MSNBC or one of the others and it should play uninterrupted from that point on. Except, of course, for when it has to rebuffer. Let me know if that works for you 🙂
