Listen to a station from anywhere
Hear a radio station from another state as clearly as one down the road.
A station that goes out on the air sends the same sound over the internet at the same moment. Distance stops mattering.
It arrives a few seconds behind, and it never crackles, however far away the town is.
Key points
- Most stations send the same broadcast out over the internet
- A radio app finds them by town, and keeps the ones you like
What to remember
- Radio apps sort stations by place, not by dial position.
- Over the internet, a station has no range.
Try this
Search for the name of a town you know, followed by the word radio, and listen for five minutes.
