WBUR Supports Ogg Vorbis

05Jun08

My favorite news radio station (WBUR) has recently added support for the audio standard ogg vorbis. Public radio and ogg make perfect sense. Free technology enables free speech. Here’s a snippet.

Peter Brown, executive director of the FSF, responded to the news stating, “I would like to thank WBUR general manager Paul La Camera, for so graciously listening to the case we made for free audio standards. The leadership displayed by WBUR in providing a free audio format will help to bring this issue the national attention and recognition it deserves, and will serve as a vital step in educating the public and other publicly funded radio stations. We urge NPR listeners to stream WBUR’s Ogg Vorbis stream, and to acknowledge and thank WBUR for this work when making your contributions.”
