Chances are you’re a little underwhelmed by the choices you have on the radio dial in your town. Sure, you might have a few top 40 stations or a token Country music station, but it probably all starts to sound the same after awhile. And what happens if you don’t like any of the music on your local radio?

If you’re smart, you turn to the world wide web — and tap into the power of internet radio!

Internet radio websites are collections of live streams from thousands of real radio stations around the world. You can search for a station either by genre or location, so it’s easy to find something that appeals to you. And, once you find an interesting radio station, all you have to do is click on it and start listening. It’s all completely free!

But what kind of variety is there?

Lots!

Here are just a few of the things you can do when you listen to internet radio:

1. Relax to the smooth melodic sounds of Jazz music

Love to end the day with a nice glass of wine and some Jazz music? When you log onto an internet radio website, you’ll have plenty of Jazz stations to choose from! And, if you really want to create the perfect mood, log on and look for a Jazz music station right out of New Orleans. You can’t do better than that!

2. Tap your feet to classic Country music

Have a special fondness for the Country music hits of years gone by? Unfortunately, most cities don’t offer a whole lot of Country music — and the ones that do usually only play the most current stuff. However, you don’t have to settle for today’s hits when you listen to internet radio.

Instead, you can find a classic Country music station that plays all of the oldies you grew up listening to.

3. Start your Sunday off with Gospel music

Want to get into the spirit of things, even if you’re not headed to church? Listening to Gospel music while you make breakfast is the perfect way to give yourself a spiritual boost.

4. Worship on the go with Christian music

On your local radio dial, Christian music stations may be few and far between. However, there’s no shortage of them on an internet radio website! All you have to do is log on and find the perfect station. That way, you can listen to all of your Christian music favorites — whether you’re riding to work on the subway or out for a morning power walk.
