live radio

You could spend a lot of time toying around with this site. Actually its just a clever grafting of live radio links to a Google earth globe. The fact that it is fast, is clever too. “Live radio” is simply an example of where (some) radio stations send their broadcast to the Internet as well as to the airwaves. Certainly not all radio stations decide to do this. It could be seen as sort of a self defeating practice; similar to newspapers publishing all their content to the web – for free. Why be in business if not to sell newspapers or advertisement over the airwaves?

-Japan and a few eastern European countries are the only countries that don't broadcast FM in the 88 – 108 MHz band of the VHF spectrum.
-Countries in the two American continents use odd frequencies while most of Europe and Africa use even frequencies.
-The ITU (International Telecommunication Union -of the UN) coordinates frequency allocations between countries around the globe.
-Some stations broadcast on AM and FM frequencies simultaneously.
-AM stations usually must be turned down to “flea power” at night so that the signal does not scatter all over the globe by bouncing off the ionosphere.
-To avoid interference, FM broadcast (in the US) are separated by a 200kHz buffer. The FM frequency band divided that way (88 to 108 MHz) provides room for only 200 stations though.
-Since FM wavelengths are line of sight only (are not reflected like AM) the broadcast range is limited and a station's broadcast frequency can be reused or resold to another station that's far enough away.
