Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about the streaming of Gulf News Radio stations.
What do I need to listen?
In order to play the audio stream you will need a PC with a media player,and an internet connection with a minimum of 49kbps or faster.
If you have a Mac it is possible to listen to alternate streams for this format, although you will need to have Windows Media Player installed on your computer.
My stream is slow and keeps stopping...
If the stream buffers for a long time or seems to be taking a long time to work again, then clicking the play button on your media player will get the broadcast working again.
If you are on dial-up or if your connection is slow then you may find the audio ‘buffers’ occasionally. There are some changes you can make to enable a smoother stream. Type in "tweaking dial-up connections" into a search engine for more details.
How fast is the stream?
Gulf News Radio is streamed at 64kbs, a speed fast enough to ensure good quality continuous audio coverage but slow enough to allow users with slower internet connections to listen too.
