The term radio is derived from the Latin radius and means beam. We use it as an abbreviation for the radio or radio receiver with which it is possible to receive radio broadcasts.
However, the term radio not only refers to the device we use to listen to the radio, but also to radio stations such as Radio Hamburg, Radio Bremen, Klassik Radio and many others.
Invented at the beginning of the 20th century, radio is the oldest of the electronic mass media and has developed in an extraordinary way to this day.
Not only is the technical progress visible, but the variety of radio offerings available online has also increased. The traditional range of FM stations has been joined by a wide variety of radio stations on the Internet. Virtually every FM station now also offers an online radio live stream, so that it can be heard everywhere in addition to the conventional frequencies.
However, there are also pure web radio stations that are dedicated to a very specific genre, for example, and thus offer their listeners a very specific and perfectly tailored program.
So for us today, radio is no longer just about providing information coupled with musical entertainment - today, radio is a real experience!
