Internet-Radio
What is Internet-Radio?
Internet-Radio, also known as streaming radio or
web-radio, is an audio broadcasting service on the
internet. Most of the broadcasters on the internet
are existing broadcasting stations for FM or AM,
and they are transmitting the same program to
the internet simultaneously. However, there are
thousands of internet-exclusive broadcasters and
personal-based stations as well. Moreover, the
number of stations has been increasing day by day
and the total number has reached over 12,000.
The most interesting characteristic of Internet-Radio
is that it is ”Borderless” which no other traditional
broadcasting medium is. It is also accessible from
anywhere in the world, whenever you connect to the
internet, via either wire or wireless.
Once you connect to the internet, the Internet-
Radio tuner displays dozens of the thousands of
station names by genre, or by country. You can then
narrow the list by selecting a sub-genre and click
select to listen to a station that you may want to try.
Digital audio signals from the station travels over
the internet, across city limit, borders, mountains, or
even the Atlantic Ocean. Internet-Radio turns you into an armchair music
world traveller. Furthermore, Internet-Radio is not
just for music lovers. Almost all interests including,
religion, news, comedy or talk radio stations can all
be heard in your preferred language. Internet-Radio
will forever make a significant difference to your
listening choice and habits.
