Through most of the existence of the medium we refer to as 'radio' has come to us transmitted from a tall radio tower and covering regional towns and cities. With the ever improving world of technology radio can now be heard from one station anywhere in the world whether at thome, at work or on the go. Megarock Radio is available anywhere you are.

There are so many different ways to listen to us that we can only cover the most preferred methods here. If you know of others please let us know so it can be added to this listn.

Since technologies change all the time and it seems every day brings a new way to tune in from anywhere in the world check back often for changes!

Also remember - radio via the internet can be bandwidth intensive so if you are connecting from a metered source (such as some cell phone and satellite connections) that you should keep an eye on bandwidth usage when accessing the station through these sources. Our main feeds are at 128kbps.
