Free Radio Stations: Internet Radio
Traditional terrestrial radio stations have many limitations placed on their broadcasts. Radio waves are limited by physical distance and frequency on a transmitting spectrum. The high costs associated with obtaining an optimal frequency can be prohibitive when starting a radio broadcast station.
Internet radio, which is becoming more popular and easy to operate each day, has none of these limitations. With a single internet connection, a computer has unlimited access to streaming audio broadcasts from every corner of the world. Competition with other stations for bandwidth is non-existent, since any station can be tuned to at any time.
Today, there are hundreds of thousands of successfully operating internet radio stations. Every genre, from classical to independent to rock and roll is represented, as well as other programming types such as news, interviews and talk shows. Learn all about this developing phenomenon and how it can change the face of broadcasting.
