The key problem is the lack of Internet access at the radio station.
If you can get that, then you can use
<http://www.streamaudio.com/site/services.aspx> (we listen to stations
in San Antonio, TX and Wasilla, AK) or another streaming service.
Excellent audio quality on our end! Here's what they show for the
connectivity requirement:
"A Dedicated Internet Connection: Whether you use Cable, DSL, ADSL,
ISDN, T-1 or frame relay, you should also have a dedicated internet
connection and public routable IP to achieve the basic requirements
for streaming your radio station on the World Wide Web. We will be
pulling a primary and secondary stream so you will need a minimum of
double the dedicated available bandwidth for the quality of stream you
have selected. (Example: for a 32k stream, you will need at least 64k
of bandwidth)
