In Shanghai and for 18+ hours now nearly every radio station we access
via msb.com now plays a "not available in your country" message. Oddly 
WCPT Chicago is the only one I've found so far that still works -
they're progressives though so maybe they've got Party connections?  My
TuneIn app returns this error message "no entries in playlist" [even for
WCPT] - so it's apparently a major blockage. I can access all via my
VPN, though it's not set up with our 2 squeezeboxes. 

Not sure if it's connected - but this new AP story makes one wonder if
we're the victims of a broader shut down - late Friday coincides with
the timing of my loss of access:  

"BEIJING (AP) — China is shuttering more than a dozen websites,
penalizing two popular social media sites and detaining six people for
circulating rumors of a coup that rattled Beijing in the midst of its
worst high-level political crisis in years. The announcement carried
late Friday by official media said the Internet companies and
individuals were being punished for fabricating and disseminating
rumors that military vehicles had entered Beijing or that something had
happened in the Chinese capital.
