Sounds like a good idea, however kts-af.net is an underlying service that receives a fee for redirecting traffic. In case your not aware of it when you go to a WEB Page and click on a link that takes you to another WEB Page, the receiving "Owner" of that page has to "PAY" the referring page owner for the potential customer. I've been retired for more than 10 years now and the ISP that we owned (PGEXPRESS.COM) went bankrupt in the U.S. and was moved back to London, so I don't remember how much is paid to the referring page owner, it is not very much Oh say something like $0.000000001 (just a guess perhaps another member knows the exact amount) but if you consider 100,000,000 link connections a day can add up to a sizable amount. In addition let's take Google as an example, when you click on the "Shopping" icon and follow one of the links, Google is paid a link referral fee and if you purchase something using that link then Google gets and additional fee. Therefore if you are being referred directly to a radio station link from iTunes kts-af.net is being cut out of the fee chain. So expecting that the radio station will be support going back to the old way doesn't have much of a chance.
