What is Internet Radio?

Internet radio is just like any AM or FM radio station except you listen to it while your computer (equipped with sound card and speakers) is connected to the Internet. One major and very important difference between a normal AM/FM radio station and its Internet counterpart is the size of the audience it can reach. Even the more powerful AM/FM radio transmitters in the Roanoke area have a very limited geographic reach. An Internet radio station, on the other hand, reaches the world. The size of the listening audience for an Internet radio station can be thousands of times larger than its AM/FM counterpart.
