iTunes/internet radio help needed

Is it Possible to stream internet audio to my airport express?

I'm running a shiny new 24" imac downstairs and I have an airport express base station upstairs plugged into my external speakers. I can stream anything I want from itunes, no problem. But what I really want to do is listen to live sporting events from radio stations who stream their broadcasts to the internet. Is this possible?

Yes, with Airfoil.

I asked the same thing a couple years ago, and the answer is still Airfoil. It works great.

If the broadcast can be listened to via iTunes, then you can just listen to the stream in iTunes and pick the Airport Express for the output. If not, then yes, Airfoil is your best choice.

(For what it's worth, I do the former a couple times a week... it works great.)
