Setting a live radio alarm

[SB]

Hi everyone, I'd really like to set computer to wake me up every morning by
starting to play an internet radio station. In particular, this one:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/spanish/programmes/default.stm#

I've tried to work out how to do this but I've just no idea. I would guess
the task is complicated by the fact that after going to that URL, you have to
click on another button to get the radio to play.

Is anyone able to help me please? Thanks very much in advance, and
apologies if this post isn't in the right place - I wasn't quite sure where
was appropriate.

Thanks,
SB

You might want to look at http://support.microsoft.com/KB/241422 and
then do some experimentation. There is (or at least there was) a command
line option for automatic play. How or if this works for online radio I
have not a clue but it might be worth a try.
