Point it anywhere on Earth and catch a real signal. Thousands of live FM and AM stations, one search box, zero setup — no app, no account, nothing to install. Just tune in and ride the wave.
Live terrestrial radio still carries something streaming playlists don't — a specific place's voice, right now, unscripted for an algorithm.
Real, live radio — this plays the actual internet streams that real FM and AM stations broadcast, pulled from Radio Browser, a free public directory of thousands of stations worldwide.
No. It's free, runs entirely in your browser, and doesn't require signing in, installing anything, or giving out any information.
It's a text match on the station's name (e.g. contains "FM" or "AM") — not a verified broadcast-band field from the directory. Most US-style terrestrial simulcasts follow that naming convention, so it works well for those, but it won't catch every station worldwide.
Streams come from a public, community-maintained directory of independently run stations — some go offline, get geo-restricted, or shut down without notice. That's outside this tool's control; try another station.
Streaming audio uses roughly the same data as any other audio stream — typically a few dozen megabytes per hour depending on the station's bitrate, similar to a music-streaming app.
Yes — once a station is playing, audio continues in the background as you switch tabs or use other apps, same as any other browser audio.
Station count reflects how many independent broadcasters have registered their stream with Radio Browser's public directory, not actual radio activity in that country — some countries are simply better represented in the directory than others.
