    Apps for streaming music on iPhone

    Suggested Apps for iPhone Streaming.  
    Access radio style streaming music on your iPhone or iPad Touch.

    These can work on a computer too, however on a phone they call it an "App", so it will download and install a free player program for it to run.

    If you travel and not on wifi network make sure you have a big enough data plan to avoid getting overage charges.  Most data plans are limited and is separate from your minutes/talk time.

    Pandora

    I Heart Radio


     NPR

    2013 Super Bowl lights out info.

    SuperBowl lights out info recorded from KNBR 680 San Francisco.

    Around 5:49 PM in Pacific Coast time, the lights went out at the Super Bowl and New Orleans.

    It's predicted that it will be about 15 minutes until the lights on the field I restored.

    It is not a full emergency because lights are still on in the stadium just not on the field.

    Power should be restored soon so fans are not panicking.
