In the first few days there are bound to be glitches, so don't be surprised if you have problems staying connected, etc.  The biggest one I've noticed is dropped connections, but that will be worked out.

I been listening to it toda and yesterday. Nice... I dont know why it cuts me off after a few hours?

That's a technical issue they are probably working on.  The other thing is this story was picked up by the Associated Press in the United States so many TV/radio websites and newspapers picked up the story and put it online and in some newscasts and print papers.

Therefore demand may be at times outstripping available connections.  They'll sort this out, they probably did not realize how big this would be.  After all, it's not very often if ever a major religion starts its own official radio channel, right now I can only think of Vatican Radio as being the best known, there could be only one or two others.

This was covered on radio industry sites too, so even the industry is taking notice on this one.
