High-fidelity stereo broadcasting perfect for music stations. FM radio uses line-of-sight propagation with typical ranges of 30-60 kilometers depending on transmitter power and terrain. Most local music stations, NPR affiliates, and community radio operate on FM due to its superior audio quality.
Medium wave broadcasting ideal for talk radio, news, and sports. AM signals travel further than FM, especially at night when skywave propagation allows signals to bounce off the ionosphere and reach hundreds or thousands of kilometers. Traditional AM stations remain popular for news, talk shows, and emergency broadcasting.
High-frequency broadcasting designed for international reach. Shortwave signals reflect off the ionosphere, allowing stations to broadcast across continents. Propagation varies dramatically by time of day, season, solar activity, and frequency band. Lower frequencies (tropical bands: 2-5 MHz) work best at night, while higher frequencies (25-30 MHz) perform better during daylight hours.
Pure streaming stations with no terrestrial broadcast. These stations are accessible worldwide regardless of geography, offering niche content, music genres, and programming not available on traditional radio. Internet radio has democratized broadcasting, allowing anyone to launch a station and reach global audiences.
All audio is delivered via internet streams, but Gleetune uses propagation physics to create an authentic radio experience. When you select your listening location and choose a radio band, our system filters which terrestrial stations (AM/FM/SW) you see based on whether their radio waves would actually reach you—considering frequency, transmitter location, distance, and atmospheric conditions.
Unlike simple station directories that list everything, Gleetune's conditional filtering mimics a real radio receiver. Shortwave propagation changes throughout the day as the ionosphere responds to solar radiation, so stations visible in the morning may disappear in the evening as different frequencies become viable. Internet-only stations have no terrestrial broadcast, so they're always available regardless of location.
All streams are continuously validated to ensure they're working. Broken or offline stations are automatically removed until they resume broadcasting. Learn more about our conditional filtering system.
Gleetune models realistic radio propagation based on physics and geography. When you select a location, you only see stations that would actually reach that area - not just a list of every station in the world. We combine the authenticity of shortwave radio DXing with the convenience of modern streaming.
No special equipment needed. Gleetune works in any modern web browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile devices. All stations stream over the internet - you're not receiving actual radio waves, but experiencing what you would hear if you had a physical radio at that location.
Yes, Gleetune is completely free. All stations in our database provide free public streams. We don't charge subscription fees and never will. Radio broadcasting is a public service, and we're committed to keeping it accessible to everyone.
Absolutely! We love expanding our catalog. Visit our contact page and use the "Add a Station" form. Provide as much detail as possible including the station name, location, frequency (if applicable), and stream URL if you have it.
Not all terrestrial radio stations provide internet streams. Some broadcasters don't stream online due to music licensing restrictions, regional rights, or infrastructure limitations. We can only include stations that have publicly accessible internet streams. If your station has a stream, let us know and we'll add it.
