Hi,
to answer you I'll quote a post from a similar question on Stack Exchange:

A TCP connection cannot be kept alive during a network change, since you get a new IP address, causing all connections being terminated.

TCP builds upon IP to get the data delivered. If you change networks you also change your public IP address which is used by the TCP connection to let TuneIn deliver data to you. This invalidates the current connection and forces you to establish a new one.
