Live Radio on the Internet is the UK's most visited live radio site, and also the largest directory available of working links to radio stations broadcasting live on the Internet. It differs from other sites of this type, as it concentrates on live audio, and instead of simply adding link after link in an attempt to have the largest collection, Live Radio on the Internet is actually maintained, and as well as adding links (links are not added unless they work!), those which no longer work are removed (within 4 weeks so as to allow the station(s) time to restore their audio).
