It plays chill out/ambient stuff and you can activate another stream on the same page that has the police radio from different cities to play over it. It's weirdly relaxing.

Tunein.com is great as well.

They have a station from the canary islands called Qfm which is class. Plenty of good blues stations too.

Bar-rockin-blues being my favourite!

I bought an internet radio a few years ago, and the only thing I ever listen to on it is BBC Radio 4.

WWOZ from New Orleans, home of jazz!

Go into the accessibility settings on your computer and set it to read out the on-screen text (as if for someone visually impaired). Stay in the After Hours forum. It's just like chat radio. People's opinions on the dole are fascinating.

It's NASAs alternative rock station.

RTE Radio 1.

BBC World Service.

Depends on what you are into really.

I have (boringly for many I suppose) BBC R4, World service, NPR, and many US stations that crack me up on a bad day.

Started listening to that recently and I actually don't hate it. Though I don't listen to music much.

GAH!

TUNEIN is not a station!

Second Tunein. Best thing since sliced bread.

But podcasts are great too. From all over the world in the language you speak of course. All genres and topics. Couldn't be without either Tunein or podcasts now.

Sad or good!

Highland Radio.

Nothing better than coming in from a hard Vegas night's gambling, drinking and bullsh1tting saleswoman from North Dakota, than firing up the Nexus in the hotelroom in time for the obituaries and the Shaun Doherty show.

I don't think the poster said that.

You can, ahem...tune in to stations all over the world via Tunein.

That rock station in Amarillo is pretty good too, can't remember the name of it now, riddled with ads sometimes though, like all US stations.

That's your internet connections fault, not the radio.

You're like the Bob Monkhouse of boards.

Rebel Radio out of Blaine County.

I don't wish any offence to the Christian radio shows looking for money.

But by. Jesus they are gas.

His witty one liners.

They laughed when I said I was going to be a comedian. They're not laughing now

It's amazing to think of what the internet has done for us. With the advent of the photograph there was fearmongering that people were going to stop reading. With the advent of the radio there was a lot of fearmongering that people were going to stop reading books, magazine and newspapers. With the advent of the TV there was a lot of fearmongering that people were going to stop listening to radio. With the advent of the internet there was fearmongering that people were going to stop doing anything of worth at all.

With the internet we initially saw more people reading text, be it blogs, news sites, forums or full novels. Then we saw people looking at more photographs and images, be they pictures of cute puppies, nudes, funnies, art or photographs that shook the world. We've seen radio take off again with podcasts, global broadcast of local stations, special interest radio and even music stations tailored to your personal style. Now we're seeing video become apparent with video on demand, TV shows being around the world within hours, not months, we have video conferencing and people making videos of everything from the hilarious to the inspiring.

The internet is a wonderful thing.

Most people haven't heard this but I got my start in silent radio

buried

http://www.wfmu.org/ from New York. No ad's, freeform radio. Every show has a archive so if you find a show you like you can listen to every single episode from the last few years. They play everything, my faves are 'Nickel & Dime Radio' on Wednesday's and '100% Whatever' on Saturdays. Every show is good and different, some DJ's on it can go on for a bit but only to tell you what music they have played for the last 30 mins or that.

BBC Radio 4

Their shipping forecasts put RTE to shame.

I wake every morning to talk of gales at Malin Head, and squally, blustery showers on the Hebrides. Lovely stuff.

You can tune in radio receivers at remote locations. The best of them is in the University of Twente in Holland. I have to use Google Chrome to make it work.

http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/

Long wave (Radio 4 is on 198 kHz), medium wave starting at 531 kHz with channels every 9 kHz up to 1611 and short wave broadcasters, all in AM mode. Some other voice signals on shortwave are in single sideband (SSB) either upper or lower. For instance if you tune into frequencies around 7100 kHz in LSB you will hear radio amateurs.

Don't expect hi-fi sound, it's just the same as tuning a conventional radio on medium wave etc. The waterfall display will show where the signals are and you can zoom in and out on the display. You will see the bands where shortwave broadcaster operate like 49 meters and 31 meters shown as well.
