A couple of things here. Often these days - particularly it seems with broadcasters from the US - the Internet Streams and free-to-air broadcasting are two completely different things. Listen to say KNX or WINS and what you get over the Internet is quite different than what you'll hear from the Medium-Wave transmitter. Next - as a DX Listener - I find Internet radio to be rather an insult. That is anyone can listen to Internet streams and that's convenient without a doubt. But their can be no doubt that the fun and the challenge from a DXer's point of view is to be able to listen to that far off station and furthermore be able to report the fact - in both written detail and literal sound - to the station itself. I have managed to listen to KNX in the US from Australia a number of times on the radio long before Internet was even thought of for this sort of thing.

It is also a fraction of the cost of an intrnet or standard radio.
