Leesoi2 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Is there a free way to listen to an American, English speaking news radio station from my computer while in Thailand? Thanks, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfact Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 That should be possible as long as you have access to a reliable ADSL connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKASA Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 loads of radio stations have a button to start listen on the web site for the station. If you have a fav you can start there. Some will not serve a remote IP because the ears don't get paided for by ads, but some don't care. Going to the site via a us based free proxy can sometimes get it going. I use amaroke in linux for music stations like you would a mediaplayer, but just plain news stations are hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Dog Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 If you have a decent internet connection, yes, there are thousands of stations for you to listen to. My MacBook runs Itunes, and it has a radio section with news and every genre of music you might want. Dozens of news stations in English. Try going to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and downloading the version for your PC. If that doesn't work, most stations have their own website where you can listen in as well. Good Luck!

kennkate Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 If your from the Uk. BBC IPlayer has all the BBC stations Avaiable Inc Local Radio Stations Other than that Lots and Lots. The I Tunes Link is good for maybe 100 + I only have the 3mb Conection and works Ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veazer Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Shoutcast.org is a great starting point, over 27,000 broadcasts. Works well with winamp. The AAC+ format used by some stations sounds quite good and uses less bandwidth, but only a handful of players other than winamp support it. AAC+ seems to stream more reliably to thailand too, not sure why.... edit: sorry, just re-read your post and noticed you're looking for news stations specifically. shoutcast is a bit weak for news & talk radio.

Just the Golden Oldies alone is the better half of a 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKASA Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Music is never a problem its everywhere on the net 1000's. Main stream News programming and talk radio are harder to find. Fox talk radio has a daily podcast, but its not news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballbreaker Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Have many choices and you don't need ADSL for connection. I use EDGE connection on mobile phone without any problems. Here are a couple links you can try. http://www.cbsradio.com/streaming/index.html http://www.citadelbroadcasting.com/citadel...ng.aspx?id=2635 Edited June 7, 2009 by ballbreaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Dog Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I do a lot of mining for good radio, and I've really been impressed with this "Kitchen Radio Station" from the USA mainland. They play a mix of oldies, unusual stuff, and well done re-makes. Amazing what a few people with a taste for music can do with a computer! http://www.konastream.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I like the (Australian) ABC Radio offerings - rock, classical, news, current affairs etc. Quality is very good. Even Thaivisa has an internet radio station somewhere, though I can't find the link anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernieK24 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Is there a free way to listen to an American, English speaking news radio station from my computer while in Thailand? Thanks, Lee Just do a google search, something like "free internet radio stations". There's a gazillion of them out there, I listen every day to WKHR-FM in Cleveland/Bainbridge, Ohio, commercial free music, but there's plenty out there for anything you want. Itunes has free radio for one. Chok Dee, Ernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can easily uninstall it completely via Windows Control Panel -->> Add/remove program. Please let me know if you like the toolbar. Download it for IE and FF: http://toolbar.thaivisa.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernieK24 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 pandora.com will allow you to adjust the playlist to your personal taste Pandora supposedly is no longer available in Thailand. They closed me out and told me their license would no longer let them transmit outside the U.S. I still get an occasional plug from them but when I try to log on, same result, I hope I'm wrong.....Ernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
