How Internet Radio Stations Work

When you are in your car or you are listening to your radio at home, you are limited to what radio stations you can listen to.  Why?  Well first of all the power of the transmitter from the station is usually limited to 100 miles.  Also, the other factor is that the broadcast spectrum that is available will only allow you to get a few local stations.  Well all that has changed with the emergence of internet radio stations.  This is because there is no geographical area with internet radio.  So if you live in Iowa, you can listen to a broadcasting that is going on in Venezuela. 

Also, traditional radio is only limited to audio.  But that is not the case with free online radio.  There are some internet stations that are broadcast along with photos, links and texts.  Some even have ways for listeners to interact with each other through chat rooms or message boards.  If you decide to run your own internet radio station, you have a wide range of things you can do.  You can create your own MP3’s and upload them.  You can even hold a training session or education course.

The best way to find the best in free music is to go to www.onlineradiostations.com.  They have a listing of all the free radio stations that are available online.  You can find everything you need whether it is a local radio station in your area or a radio station broadcasting from South Africa.
