Internet, Radio, Television Broadcasts
International
radio broadcasts are becoming more available to anyone with a high
speed transfer rate on their computer modem. Not all radio stations
have an internet broadcast feed but there are many that do. The
listings below are based primarily on either actual radio "on-air"
signals or internet transmissions that I have personally heard. Most
internet broadcasts are available in one of three dominant formats:
Real Audio, Apple Quick Time Player or Windows Media Player. In some
cases, all formats are even offered as an option. All of these audio
players in their basic formats are commonly available as free
downloads. Usually, an upgraded version is available for an on-line
payment. Please remember that internet transmissions are in mono sound
i.e. there are not 2 separate channels that you are receiving, but just
one.
It is important to keep in mind the time zone differences for
broadcasts originating from locations at great distances from yourself.
e.g. evening concerts from Europe are commonly "on-air" from noon to
early afternoon in North America / evening concerts from North America
are commonly "on-air" from early a.m. hours to early morning in Europe.
