Hi. I am looking for radio stations from all around the world that would broadcast news. Is there a way to find just news radio stations that are free on the internet? Thanks in advance.

I know a lot of stations have streaming. So try to look for streaming of CNN radio. Also 1010 Wins, and look for streams like Fox News Radio, and also try to look for the BBC streams which provide lots of news. I have a whole folder of several online radio stations. it's huge with several M3U files. IF you want that, let me know and I'd love to ablige.

good luck with that- maybe finding a directory like radio locator may be a start

Thanks for the info. I am finding, even on our local news station, that I find a listen live button, but when I click on it, nothing happens. Any suggestions as to how I can listen live to the different stations? Wins did the same thing, as did fox. The listen live button might be a graphic that I don't know how to get around. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

there are 2 radio programmes i know of, radio sure and tapin radio

simply get the software from the site, type in the little box what you are looking for, press enter, and then in both programmes you can tab round to the results.

use the up and down arrow to search them and press enter on the one you want to listen to

easy way..

Tapin radio works very well for me. This is great to be able to listen to stations around the world. Thanks again.

I've tried Tapinradio and I like it. Need to see Radiosure and compare it, and I've also tried something called Screamer Radio. There are several accessible tuners available, too. The Webbie suite of programs has a tuner in it, but a lot of the stations don't seem to work in it. There's Speakon, which uses the database of Radiotime.com for radio stations. Then there's Klango, which is media player, social networking tool and lots more. Thing I like about Klango is that you can add new radio stations to it. Don't think you can do this with most tuners out there. By the way, Klango and Speakon are both self-voicing applications.
