Radio

This page is dedicated to radio in all variants and frequencies, because radio is a good concept.

TV is the worst of both worlds. It's not as good at words as radio is because the pictures are a distraction which demand attention, and it's not as good as cinema because the pictures are not nearly as good. Douglas Adams

Most radio stations are continuously broadcasting useful information. All the listener need to do is flip a switch and the information is there. When Internet Radio was introduced to the general public in the late 90s, new radio stations started popping up all over the world.
