The World Radio

The green dots on this Google Earth map represent radio stations all over the world. Click on any one of the dots and you will immediately hear that station with very good reception. You will not need earphones/antenna for your phone.

 

It’s the clearest reception I have ever had-- For example, halfway up Ireland's east coast, there is a station playing Irish pub music.

For cities there may be just 1 dot, click on it and it will list most of the stations there…. Ex Sydney opens up to 127 stations.

 

You cannot hear every radio station in the world, however, there are a lot of them.

For Bi-lingual Expats its excellent.

I don't know Kwasaki....I am a complete Thicko on most things computer wise,, I pay for my phone in a joint package Another site I had which was good on the phone was Maps.me its better than Google in as much as it doesn't need the internet, when your way out in Nakom Nowhere.tell what country you want and it downloads it into your phone and just updates every few months. so always there when internet isn't....its free

thanks for that - although the first one I tried was in Sydney but in Vietnamese! Ah well......

[sanuk711]

No it will give you a list for Sydney Dan....on the biggest dot.......what I like about it on home comp is that you can turn it on and just go anywhere else on the comp and it still plays in the background.

 

*edit...Just checked it Dan giving 76 stations for Sydney just take your pick...... Unless there all Vietnamese.........

Just been listening to LBC in London can get many stations with music too. 

 

I guess it will be free as you say, I pay a fixed amount for internet so I guess once it's loaded into the phone it can only be free I would say. ????

Yer....what I like about it is that it keeps playing (on home comp) when you go to another TAB...I play chess (very bad) and use as background music...find the Irish stations are very good --For my age....

my friends listen to the BBC a lot

It's an interesting site.
I listen to BBC Radio 4 on my laptop for early morning news and some other programs, have on phone too.   You can listen to earlier programs as well.
You can always find plays to listen to or download for future listening.

This is a great recommendation.

I'm enjoying listening to radio stations from around the world, and have only just scratched the surface.

Thanks to Sanuk711.

I've had that for almost a year now. I am always amazed at all the Russian stations that play up to date western music out in Siberia.

 

Forgot to mention they have app at the PlayStore

Download Global Player app on phone or PC. All UK stations are there. BBC Sounds give you BBC radio, all free and good quality. Then TuneIn gives you the rest of the World.

The link on the OP didn't work for me.

Anything you download via mobile data has cost you even if you have an 'unlimited' package.

Radio takes very little data to receive.

Just to try it out last night, I was on Falklands local radio, Iceland playing Abba but talking in Icelandic, Minorca playing The Beach Boys, and Mongolian folk music. 

Then back to Caroline Flashback !

Maybe its an age thing -I find I just sit on one of the Irish stations for music, over to the BBC talk back for arguments-- listen to the football game analysts --then sometimes  the 15 min Drama programs on the BBC are good--- but as I say maybe an age thing, brought up with Radio, I never saw a TV until I was 10 years old.

Thanks for this recommendation. It's great fun being able to fly around the world, listening to all kinds of radio that I've never experienced before. At the moment I'm tuned in to a station in Tripoli, Libya. ????

Things have come a long way since tuning the wireless into Hilversum. ????
