Hmmm. I works for me. The popup has the control panel for WMP, and it just starts up.
What version of WMP do you have installed? I know the MLB audio requires WMP 7.0 or better to work. (Although you'd probably get a message if that was it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I've checked out the FAQ and I've done everything it suggests and I'm still having problems.
Where did you find the FAQ? The only one I can find is the one about attending the games in person.

I have the latest version. It still won't play.

Oh! I got the FAQ from the radio station's website when I tried to get the game there -- [link]
I can't get anything to work there.

I'm not going to worry about this, I've gone this long without listening to the radio online, I can awhile longer.

The radio station feed is working for me, too. I looked at the FAQ, and if you've tried everything there, I'm at a loss.
Is the player that shows up in the popup WMP? If it's something else (like RealPlayer) then that might be the reason. If it is WMP, try going to the Tools/Options menu, and click on the Network tab. Make sure all the streaming protocols are checked.

Now that I'm paying attention, I don't think the player in pop up is WMP. The pop up window has a turner which I'm going to describe badly --on the left there's a gray circle and on the right is a smaller one and in between there are 3 buttons over the two volume buttons.

So, we need to somehow get WMP to be the default stream player, something I don't know how to do off hand.
Anyone? Bueller?

I think I might have figured it out! I went into WMP and checked "all file types" which wasn't selected before and when I tried it again this time the player in the pop up looks like WMP.
Except it's still "connecting to media", so maybe this won't work.

Well, that didn't work. It looks right but it still won't play.
Oh well. Right now I'm following the game via the nhl's play by play and the sunsports lightning forum.
