That's even more convoluted. If i want to listen to KGO, anywhere
west of Phoenix, I wait 'til the sun goes down and tune any radio to
810 KHz.

But what if you don't want to "wait 'til the sun goes down"? Besides,
the only way to get KGO on the east coast (where I am) is to stream it.

Convenience and portability. It's a hassle to web stream. Try it while
backpacking.
