Farm radio is the 1st of the kind radio introduced by Extension Centre of ANGRAU. This is an Internet Radio available wherever there’s an Internet connection, and there are no geographical boundaries. Terrestrial radio must be relatively close to a terrestrial radio station in order to receive a broadcast from it, this restriction does not exist on the Internet. We can listen to an Internet radio station regardless of location. Many terrestrial radio stations even stream their broadcasts online.
Access to the Internet is so easy these days, with long WiFi ranges, public places offering free internet access and 4G/LTE mobile data. Unlike AM/FM as stations are limited to their transmitter, online radio is everywhere and accessible at anytime whether you have a smartphone, laptop, or tablet – check in on your station wherever you are, be it at home or on the other side of the World. As for listeners, anyone with an Internet connection can listen to farm radio, meaning a wide audience to attract, literally billions of potential people ready to connect and listen to farm Radio.
