Radio On The Web

We enjoy listening to the radio while we use the computer. One easy way to do this is to use Microsoft's Windows Media Player. If you don't have at least version 7.1, you should download an upgrade.

To listen to the radio using Media Player, run the program and then click the Radio Tuner tab. Now you can select the station you want to hear. If you don't see anything you'd like to hear, select from one of the listed topics (Country, Top 40, etc.).

Click the station you want to hear and select Play. Note that some will not work due to format, accessibility, etc.
