A couple of other commercial stations still doing EZ/BM are WGCY in Gibson City, IL and KWXY-AM in Palm Springs, CA. KWXY is about 50/50 instrumentals to vocals since acquiring the format from the former KWXY-FM a couple of years ago. Both stations stream online.

Except those two stations stream using FLash players, and analysis of their HTML code reveals no reasonable way to cruft together a valid direct URL to the stream itself without resorting to using packet sniffing.

As far as I'm concerned, when streamers resort to that sort of crap, they're essentially not even streaming at all, period. An unstream, as Blair/Orwell probably would have put it.

I am now posting aircheck files and such on Youtube under https://youtube.com/user/oldradiotapes on an experimental basis.

When downloading any of these files, please use only the type 22 (720-P) option when available, as it provides the highest-fidelity audio (MP4/192k AAC).

I just did a search for WGCY in my TuneIn app, and it came up right away and streamed with no problem. 24k WMA stream, but whatever...it's adequate for listening while trying to fall asleep.... Grin

I also enjoy listening to KAHM online. The station is indeed part of a bygone era. It even sounds to me like they may still be using carts and/or reels. Does anyone know if this is the case?

Here's hoping this station will be around for years to come. Unfortunately, though. I think it's fairly safe to assume that, when KAHM is finally put up for sale (as it inevitably will be), the new owners will almost certainly change the format to "something more commercially viable".
