Wow! This site is pretty amazing. I like how it picked up my location and tuned into a local San Francisco radio station. The I scrolled the globe and rotated into my Dad's hometown of Bombay (they call it "Mumbai" now) and it zero-ed in on a Gazhal station. This one => http://radio.garden/live/mumbai/planetradiocity/

Question to the creator / OP: Are the ads (voice ads) that play injected into the stream? I ask because even though I selected an Indian radio channel, it played a long AT&T get a go phone this holiday season blah blah blah for like 2 minutes, and the voice was American accent and also the address it said to go to was att.com/gophone (which I would think is only US customers). What gives?




Maybe it's the radio station itself doing that? I remember reading about software for online streaming that targeted ads based on the client's IP.

Didn't think of that. Wouldn't put it past them.
