Alternative radio stations

61 internet radio stations playing alternative are streaming right now, across 12 countries. The busiest are NEU RADIO, 94.5 The Buzz Houston's Rock and Alternative, KEXP and Radio Nova France. All of them were verified as live when the page was built.

Most alternative stations come from Ireland (6), The United States Of America (5), New Zealand (5), Colombia (3), The United Kingdom Of Great Britain And Northern Ireland (2) and Indonesia (2). They broadcast mainly in english, spanish and italian. Stations tagged alternative often carry related tags too — most commonly rock, indie, alternative rock and pop — so the same station may appear on several genre pages.

21 of these stations stream at 192 kbps or better, the highest being Radio Paradise Rock Mix FLAC at 1441 kbps, which is worth choosing if you are listening on speakers rather than a phone. By format the mix is MP3 (43), AAC (8) and AAC+ (7).

A alternative station in Ireland and a alternative station in The United States Of America rarely sound alike — the tag is the same, the programming is not. Comparing them is half the point of a page like this.

Nothing is needed beyond the browser — no app, no account, no payment. Press play on any alternative station and it starts. The heart icon saves a station to your favourites, kept in your own browser and shown at the top of every page here. For stations that broadcast it, the track currently playing appears in the player at the bottom of the screen.
