Great site for over the air radio

[Kevin]

This is a great website for streaming radio, www.streema.com. I personally enjoy this site for internet radio.

While I applaud the effort, I think this site will suffer the same fate as TuneIn, WUnderground, thestreamcenter.com tuned.mobi and others. I attempted to stream some iHeart and Entercom stations, and they didn’t work. iHeart was “loading” for about 5 minutes and never played. When I tried to stream an Entercom station, an announcement from a female played stating that Entercom requested removal of their stations from the site.

Station owners are pushing listeners to their own streaming platforms so that they can capture deep analytics about their audiences for advertisers. In this era of big data, broadcasters want listeners in their walled garden ecosystem. They will not support a website like this where every station is promoted equally and the listener is anonymous.

On top of all that Reciva is shutting down at the end of January 2021, leaving users of Wi-Fi radios reliant on that platform high and dry.

I checked the available stations in a number of markets I am involved in or have recently been working in throughout Latin America and found most of them missing. I did an in-depth look at Quito, Ecuador, with my daughter who lives there online with me and we found about half the AMs and FMs missing, and with a bunch of online only ones she had never heard of all listed.

It's a cool idea, but incomplete. And the audio popup for the stream should have a link to each station's site.

And several of my favorite stations from France and Italy are not there, either.

Agreed. Steema is great for the indie standalone, mom & pop, or a small company local cluster to get online with ease. But even those clusters -- with AMs and FMs in their group -- even in a small market, will want to deep analytics. That lone AM, does not.

I've had the same issue with iHeart and Entercom outlets, as well, on the platform. And not ALL of their station are/were on their, either.

As for the Radio Garden.com mention: It's fun to use and a GREAT way to discover radio around the world. I spent yesterday checking out Africa; today Australia. However, for the U.S.: None of the majors are on the platform/app. So it is small market AMs and FMs, mostly of the standalone variety, and community FMs, and more to the LPFM side, but a LOT of Internet-only .mp3 hobby stations (a lot). I enjoy it, as it makes it so easy to discover stations. The stations stream on Radio Garden, but there's a drop down link to get to the station's site (some steam on site, some do not; or at least not easily).
