How to Listen to American Radio Stations in the UK

Well alot lot of internet radios (eg Pure Evoke Flow, NaimUniti) have international stations, but whether or not they're the right ones I dunno.

You could always use a proxy service to make them think you're in the US?

Or take a look at the stations in iTunes and see if any of them are the ones you want...

Sonos seems to be able to play any station from anywhere in the world, or at least the list of stations is pretty big in the US.

It's a slightly expensive solution though, just for that...

Thanks Guy's,I've checked itunes and they don't have them listed. Can you recommend any of these proxy services? 

not really as have never used one. A google search for "US proxy service" gives you loads though (they cost money...)

You could look at hidemyass, which offers free proxy services...A friend of mine uses this to view iplayer in Romania.

If you have an iPhone/Touch there are some radio apps which find internet stations. My Denon iPod dock also has access to internet radio.

Check out the Pure Evoke Flow DAB radio. I regularly listen to obscure US stations on this via my PC and internet.

Click here: are your fave stations among the 456 broadcasters in Florida vTuner finds? I seem to be able to get everything up to and including Orlando KMCO Air Traffic Control on the NaimUniti...!

Thanks Andrew, they have WHTQ which we listened to when we were over there last year.

I'd certainly recommend Reciva.com for internet radio.  You can listen through your PC or through a Reciva compatible internet radio or through the Reciva application on iPod Touch/iPhone.  Only problem you may find (as I did) is that some of the big networks no longer allow people outside the US to receive the streams.  I used to listen to KROQ from LA and now it just comes up with a message saying its no longer available.

Hi Guy's,

Thanks for the suggestions but they both came up with the warning message saying I couldn't listen because i'm outside the USA.

 Andrew - I'm really not up on internet radios at all. I assume the Naim unit you mention is radio which plugs into the wall and connects to the internet? if so what model is it? 

 would you be able to check if xl 106.7 plays? its a station in the orlando area. 

Yes, it's the NaimUniti, which is an all-in-one music system, mains powered and internet connected. But there are plenty of other internet enabled radios out there.

And yes, XL 106.7 FM is playing fine: apparently the OBT is currently blocked northbound due to an accident at the 192...
