Video Killed the Radio Star

Written by  Natacha Cullinan Thursday, 08 July 2010
ghetto blaster ghetto blaster -eko-
Practising your Ricky Martin from your Vanessa Paradis has never been so easy, with the wonderful world wide web, and its plethora of radio stations (good and bad).

Disclaimer: We hold no responsibility if you develop a sudden urge to do the Macarena to old cheesy tunes, or for remembering such classic gems as this contribution by Romanian O-Zone (if only they got stuck there?)... Everybody sing along now:


Rrrrradio station sites (that’s a Spanish ‘r’ for you to practise):

A search engine for finding radio stations all around the world
Yet another for those of you who just can’t get enough (Depeche Mode lyric...we just couldn’t help ourselves)
Mike's Radio World: Mike is to radio what Craig is to the accommodation world
Live-radio: Not the prettiest of sites, but does the job!
Broadcast-live.com: The one stop shop here, with TV and podcasts too

And these are the best of bunch, by language:

Spanish
IdealSpain.com: Desde Eschpaña, tío.
e-spanyol.hu: Check out that domain name - hats off to whoever thought of it first.

French
RadiosFrancophones: So we can catch up on Celine whilst enjoying a bit of Garou, too.
ListenLive: Jacques Brel, anyone?

German
Listen, live, from Germany
qsl.net: Lists, more lists

Italian
Dolce Italia straight through your speakers!
Even the tower of Pisa can’t match this huge list from Radio Tower - grazie mille.

Portuguese
Surf music to samba along to
Bossa Nova straight to your ipod

Arabic
Araboo bring you BBC News and Natacha Atlas all on one neat site
Another good find from Radio Time

Swedish
Listen Live: Not just heavy metal here
Thank you Radio Station World!
