LIVE RADIO BROADCAST TONIGHT JAN. 2OTH, 2017

US radio stations broadcasting live over the Internet - listen anywhere!

Due to royalties/copyright issues, you will find that you cannot listen to many US radio stations (which play music) if you are outside the USA - this includes all CBS owned and operated radio stations & iHeart stations.

This is a financial decision by the relevant station or its owners which is a result of issues with the record companies.

Most news/talk stations should be ok.

The US radio scene is different from that in most other parts of the world. One of the main differences is the naming of the stations. US radio stations use "call-letters" (in a similar way to Canadian radio stations) instead of names. These call-letters usually comprise 3 or 4 letters, such as "WJR" or "KVST". Generally speaking (with a few exceptions) those stations with call-letters beginning with "W" are located East of the Mississippi River, whilst those beginning with "K" are West of it. Many stations add their own name which (usually, but not always) ties in with their call-letters. For example, KDGE also calls itself "The Edge", "The Fox" and so on. KISS FM is a very popular name which sometimes, considering the station call letters, is bewildering!
