(Redirected from Internet Radio)

Internet radio (aka e-Radio) is a broadcasting service transmitted via the Internet. Not every internet "radio station" has a corresponding traditional radio station. Many internet radio stations are completely independent from traditional ("terrestrial") radio stations and broadcast only on the Internet. Broadcasting on the Internet is usually referred to as webcasting since it is not transmitted broadly through wireless means but is delivered over the World Wide Web. e-Radio suggests a streaming media that presents listeners with a continuous stream of audio to which they have no control much like traditional broadcast media. It is not synonymous with podcasting which involves downloading and therefore copyright issues. Nor does e-Radio suggest "on-demand" file serving.

Because the radio signal is relayed over the Internet, it is possible to access the stations from anywhere in the world¡ªfor example, to listen to an Australian radio station from Europe or America. This makes it a popular service for expatriates and for people who have interests that may not be adequately catered for by their local radio stations (such as progressive rock, anime themed music, 24/7 stand up comedy, and others). Some of the internet radio services offer news, sports, talkback, and various genres of music¡ªeverything that is on the radio station being simulcast over the internet with a netcast stream.
