BBC NEWS | Technology | Workers find voice on the net: "A leafy suburb of north London may seem an unlikely spot for an international radio station devoted to workers' rights.
But it is home to Radio LabourStart, which is using the internet to broadcast reports on the plight of workers around the world."
Online radio will obviously never replace real radio, which can reach millions of people with hardly any bandwidth scaling issues. But niche online radio can take advantage of that other property of the internet: it's global. A niche online radiostation can have a small to medium large audience, and go where normal radio could never reach.
