Access
-
Internet radio and video provides much broader access, since websites can be accessed almost anywhere. Before Internet radio stations and video streaming, programs aired on AM or FM radio stations were not available to anyone outside of the local listening area.
Convenience
-
If you missed your favorite song or program when it aired on conventional radio or TV stations, you have to wait until it comes around again. With video streaming online, you can hear songs or view videos and programs at your convenience.
-
Customization
-
With Internet radio and video, you can pause, rewind and fast-forward as much as you like for each song, video and program. You do not have this flexibility with radio stations and videos played over the airwaves.
Captions
-
Most online radio stations have a scrolling caption for song and artist names as they are played. Radio station disc jockeys don't typically announce the names of every song or artist.
On the Go
-
Most mobile phones now include Internet access. Many songs and videos are also created with the capability to download to your iPod or mp3 player. With these modern conveniences, you can enjoy media while you shop, wait for a doctor's appointment, or lay poolside -- all without distracting those around you.
