It may be some time before KWFC and many other radio stations hit the cybernet with their audio signals. Many stations that have been cybercasting have recently eliminated the broadcasts. All of this is due to a conflict between the world's music licensing companies and media outlets.
All radio stations pay licensing fees to licensing companies for the right to broadcast music.
Commercial stations are charged a percentage of their annual sales income, while non-commercial stations, like KWFC, are charged a flat rate. The dispute lies in that the licensing companies are asking for more money from broadcasters for the right to cybercast. Exact pricing details have yet to be worked out, and the major broadcasting associations, like the National Religious Broadcasters association, are battling to prevent these charges. Part of the problem exists in that the cybercasting had been in existence for several years before licensing companies began asking for their fees. Fearful that the courts might rule against them, and possibly order retroactive fee payments, many radio stations have temporarly withdrawn their cybercasts until the issue is settled.
