Does anybody out there know what happerned to WWOZ in New Orleans? I guess if I lived in NO I could dial up the radio and find out, but I’m in Pittsburgh, so I can’t. I stream WWOZ almost daily. I went to listen to the radio station this morning and the domain [wwoz.org](http://wwoz.org) has been reclaimed (I guess) Is there anybody from the Crescent City out there who knows the scoop. I’m having a tough time this morning without my dose of free local (well not really local, but kickass nonetheless!) music. ---

The website works fine for me. Maybe it was just down temporarily? ---

Really, you got the familiar home page with the link to play streaming radio? not working here. I get some page that heads with network solutions and says that the domain has expired. ---

I tried it just now and it worked fine. Never been to that page before so it’s not an issue of a cached page still displaying. ---

Did you try going to [www.wwoz.org](http://www.wwoz.org)? That is where [wwoz.org](http://wwoz.org) redirects you to when you go there. Perhaps there is a glitch in the redirection for you? ---

You guys are screwing with me. I have visited wwoz everyday for the past 10 years. What comes up at [www.wwoz.org](http://www.wwoz.org) is not the regular site. ---

You may have a virus on your computer that is screwing with your DNS. Try [editing the hosts file](http://kickenhardware.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3006) (instructions there for Windows XP) and adding an entry for [www.wwoz.org](http://www.wwoz.org) at 72.47.253.47 If that doesn’t fix it, if you’re in a lab and if you have an IT person, I would talk to them about the problem. ---
