Here seems to be the stations in JSON format in case anyone wanted to extract them. There are about 12,000 but some of the stations at the end don't have a source. http://rgapi-60c3.kxcdn.com/live.json?b=89eae48362c03fe07fcc

Developer here. We weren't exactly expecting this to become as popular as it did.. Just survived being #1 on Reddit – sheesh. It seems our non-profit Bing maps key was revoked.. Switched to Arcgis imagery instead for now. Too bad, the Bing imagery was really great.

I love this thing you've made. I've been exploring the world with radio since long before the WWW was invented. I used to carry a shortwave radio with me wherever I traveled back in the 1970s and 80s.

I agree - we are entering a realm of real-world magic. Just hoping that humanity can handle it.

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 beca…

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.
