Online radio as a technology, as a social force, has taken huge strides in the 00's. 10 year's ago the technology was just getting started and many technical, business and consumer hurdles were in the way.
The technology is now there with faster computers and networks along with better software. Recent legal agreements along with several notable success stories (Pandora, Last.FM) points to a vibrant business future.
Best of all the consumer is more and more going online to get their radio news and entertainment!
While some radio portals offer the ability to make their own station RadioTower believes the best radio comes from those that know it best - Radio professionals!
Online radio should not just be about playing an algorithm, or the fact that anyone can make a station.
Rather, just like radio as always done, it should be about community, about a shared experience, whether a song or a thought shared.
That takes people ... An announcer that we like and respect, a station programmer that knows what we want to listen to (before we do).
The beauty is now we can share that experience throughout the world!
To that end lets celebrate some of the best of Online Radio.
