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.
