Internet radio also known by a number of other names such as web radio, net radio and e-radio, is a new type of radio introduced in the market with FM, DAB and Wi-Fi facilities. Audio broadcasting on the Internet is usually done by a process called web casting where transmission happens through wireless means from internet radio stations. With the help of a streaming medium, the listeners are presented with a continuous stream of audio. Such services are accessible from any corner of the world. Thus, you can listen to an American station sitting in your living room in Japan. Every format that is available on a traditional radio station is also offered by an Internet radio service.
