Hi all,
Wes from weatherUSA, here. Just came across this thread as we've had several requests over the last week to host NOAA Weather Radio feeds after the demise of the WU audio server... also kind of embarrassed that I've never created an account on WXForum until now, ha.
Over the weekend, we opened our Icecast server to public streaming, which can be used by signing up for a free account on our site and filling in your station details:
https://www.weatherusa.net/members/services/radioThat will automatically add you to our Icecast server with a separate password, and include your station on our broadcast list at the below link (well, in the next few hours since we're in the middle of updating that page). This page has gotten a lot of traffic from search engines over the years but it looks horrible at the present time given that we deleted almost all of the existing links that were there previously. It'll be updated later today with a new, automatically updated list and an audio streaming widget/tool.
http://www.weatherusa.net/radioGoing back through the thread, it looks like you guys have already created some great solutions to replace the WU feeds. We'd like to help wherever possible... our streaming server is on a 100x100 fiber connection, and being Icecast we can relay to additional servers easily if/when demand calls for it. In addition, we want to list ALL NWR feeds out there on our site, not just ones that are streaming to us. If there's some way we can pull/share info with noaaweatherradio.org and display or link to that on our site, I think it's a win for everyone. We'll also accept submissions of existing station stream URLs for listing on the above page which includes direct links to the broadcaster's website, if given.
I understand that some are uncomfortable streaming to a "commercial" provider, especially because we plan to use the feeds in our mobile apps and make them playable on local forecast pages. On the other hand, reliability is important. We have the account requirement because it (1) allows us to contact people in case of an issue with their stream and/or updates to the service, and (2) we generate a random password for each user to protect against abuse - which could be a problem posting a generic streaming password on a public forum. NWR, being in the public domain, means we all can share and re-broadcast streams (Icecast makes that dead simple, too) in case people want to use their own servers but be able to handle the traffic on busy weather days. We're also happy to offer Premium subscriptions to our services for anyone who streams through us.
Just let me know how we can help.
