New statistics released by BRS Media's Web Radio portal site show that a record number of radio stations are now broadcasting over the Internet.

According to the report over 3,500 radio stations are currently 'broadcasting' their signal on the Internet, up from 2,261 stations a year ago and a mere 56 in 1996. While half of the radio webcasters are US- or Canadian-based stations the healthiest growth continues to come from Internet-only and international broadcasters.

The statistics also reveal that one out of four radio stations with a web site are now webcasting live and that each month nearly 100 new radio stations join in.
