Need a reliable audio streamming distribution server

[Gene Holmerud]

A friend of mine does a live "Greatest Hits of All Time" (mostly R&R, but  
not exclusively) internet radio show.  The distribution server service  
he's using now has left him desiring for reliability, so I'm asking here.

Currently the project is low-buget as it strives for popularity, but with  
connections to most of the living atrists of the genre (a number of which  
have already been on the show) and his many years as a Los Angeles area  
DJ, it will be a real money maker for all involved.

If you do this service or have a recomendation, please reply offline.
