CKWR 98.5 - Really Bad Hum? (Mar 21, 2023)

I just got back from vacation, fired up the computer, and pulled up CKWR's online feed.
I noticed a really bad hum on their audio and thought my speakers were bad.
I then noticed that I had to search around the house to find a working FM radio and noticed the hum appeared OTA too.
Can anyone else in the KW area confirm what my ears are hearing?
Hard to believe that they can continue to broadcast with audio that is that distorted with a hum.

Yes CKWR's signal is crap right now.  I checked both the online and off air and the hum is really loud.  Sort of  like what AM sounds like in some EV vehicles!!
