I have the CC WiFi 3 Internet radio and enjoy listening to MSNBC or another specific station. Why does the audio go quiet when certain commercials begin but it doesn’t happen on all the stations I listen to?

Certain radio stations use a service called geotargeting. This is a marketing strategy for online marketers to deliver specific commercials to specific listeners based on their detected location. Your IP address may reveal location information to these marketers such as country, state, city, etc. and in some cases even which ISP (internet service provider) you are using. If you are in an area that the radio station does not recognize, the stream will stay connected, however the audio will go silent until the commercial break ends. Please continue listening for a few minutes and the station audio should resume.
