Why don't some of the links on the site seem to work?
Some of the links on this site (such as those to open the radio, audio, tv and video players) use JavaScript to open a new window. There are reasons why this might not work on your computer. Firstly check that JavaScript is enabled in your browser settings. Check the help files for your browser for information on allowing active scripting. Additionally if you are using software to block advertising, this may prevent the player windows from launching. Altering the settings or disabling your ad blocking software should provide a solution. Don't worry, we don't carry any annoying ads on this website!
