Online Television and web-radio Glossary

Internet TV: Because of the increase in Internet connection speeds and the total number of people online, and the decrease in connection costs; it is increasingly common to find traditional television content, accessible freely and legally over the Internet. This comes in four basic forms:

• TV channels which exist only on the internet.
• Traditional stations that simulcast live on the net.
• Traditional stations making select content available on demand at their website (this is especially popular with news channels).
• Traditional TV stations making extra content exclusively for their website.

Internet radio stations is a broadcasting service transmitted via the Internet. Not every internet radio station has a corresponding traditional radio station. Many internet radio stations are completely independent from traditional ("terrestrial") radio stations and broadcast only on the Internet. Broadcasting on the Internet is usually referred to as streaming.

Streaming media is media that is consumed (read, heard, viewed) while it is being delivered. Although it is generally used in the context of certain content types ("streaming audio", "streaming video", etc), streaming is more a property of the delivery systems employed to distribute that content (online radio and online television). The distinction is usually applied to media that are distributed over computer networks; most other delivery systems are either inherently streaming (radio, television)

webcast is similar in intent to a broadcast television program but designed for internet transmission. Webcast clients allow a user to connect to a server, which is distributing (webcasting) the webcast, and displays the televisual content to the user it could be: internet radio stations or online television channels.

Web-radio: (also known as Internet Radio), Web radio and Web-TV are radioTV transmitting stations which use internet, differently from conventional Radio which are “on-air” to spread their frequencies. That different technology has got several differencies in functioning and charateristics. Obviously Web radio, using a system more recent and powerful, get innumerable advantages in comparison with Fm. Radio Covering diffusion: a program transmitted via internet is available all over the world, in comparison of FM Frequencies which cover small geographic areas. Interactivity; Web Radio frequency signal is bi-directional then communication reaches customers and reverse (customer may interact with the broadcast in many ways- on demand- untill he can manage in total autonomy his own Playlist).

Because the internet radio signal is relayed over the Internet, it is possible to access the internet radio stations from anywhere in the world.
For example, to listen to a Japanese radio station from Europe or America. This makes it a popular service for expatriates, immigrantes, languages students and for people who have interests that may not be adequately catered for by their local radio stations (such as progressive rock, jazz, classical music, etc). Some of the internet radio services offer news, sports, talkback, and various genres of music
