     <title>What is Internet Radio?</title>
     
  <p>Internet radio stations are similar to regular radio stations, allowing an individual or organisation to stream music live over the internet. Internet radio stations can be a simultaneous stream of a regular radio station, an amateur broadcasting their own station, or commercial internet radio stations that include live DJs and even publicity.</p>
