Internet Radio

  • Broadcasting on the Internet is customarily referred to as webcasting since it is not transmitted broadly through wireless means
  • Internet radio involves a streaming medium that presents listeners with a continuous "stream" of audio over which they have no control, much like traditional broadcast media; in this respect, it is distinct from "on-demand" file serving
  • Internet radio is also distinct from podcasting, which involves downloading rather than streaming
  • Many Internet radio "stations" are associated with a corresponding traditional (or "terrestrial") radio station or radio network
  • Internet-only radio stations are independent of such associations.
