An ilikeRadio statement regarding Caster.FM's scheduled infrastructure migration
Effective date: Saturday, 11th April 2026
ilikeRadio would like to inform listeners of upcoming scheduled maintenance taking place across the Caster.FM platform on 11th April 2026.
Overview
ilikeRadio is hosted using AzuraCast, with our public stream being relayed through Caster.FM to reach external listeners. While our core streaming system will continue to operate as normal, the relay connection provided by Caster.FM may be temporarily affected during this period.
Caster.FM will be carrying out a planned infrastructure migration involving DNS updates. During this process, some streaming services may experience temporary disruption while changes propagate across global networks.
What this means for listeners
During the maintenance window, listeners accessing ilikeRadio via the Caster.FM relay may experience:
- Temporary stream interruptions
- Delayed playback reconnection
- The stream failing to load until DNS updates have fully propagated
These disruptions may last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours depending on regional network propagation times. In most cases, service will resume automatically once updates have completed.
If the stream does not reconnect automatically, we recommend refreshing your browser, restarting your media player, or reloading the stream link.
Alternative listening options
To ensure uninterrupted access to ilikeRadio during this period, we have provided alternative listening methods:
These platforms will remain active throughout the maintenance window and can be used as a backup while the Caster.FM relay is temporarily affected.
Important notes
- No data or configuration changes will occur on ilikeRadio’s AzuraCast system
- This maintenance is fully controlled by Caster.FM and does not affect our internal automation or scheduling
- Normal broadcasting operations will continue in the background throughout the process
- Service via the relay will automatically restore once DNS propagation is complete
Duration
Caster.FM has advised that the migration process may result in downtime ranging from a few minutes to several hours depending on regional DNS propagation speeds. While most listeners should see service return quickly, some regions may experience delayed recovery.
Final message
We appreciate your patience and understanding while this essential infrastructure work is carried out. These changes are intended to improve long-term reliability and performance across the Caster.FM platform.
We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates if required. A further announcement will be made once full service via the Caster.FM relay has been confirmed as restored.
Kind regards,
