We are broadcasting morning announcements at our high school over the network
as a multicast. Since the actual broadcast is student run and their arrival
time is dependent upon weather and school buses, we would like to be able to
start a canned broadcast around 7:30 and then let their broadcast supercede
it once they are in and going, usually around 8:00. Part of the reason behind
the earlier start is so that the teachers can initiate WMP in the classroom
whenever they open their respective rooms. The best scenario would be to have
the teacher open player to the canned program and then have it "seemlessly"
replaced by the live stream. Any suggestions on what we could do are
appreciated.

Add a file into the source input, then when your ready to go live just click
the live source.

Thanks Gaz.
