The success of an advertising media depends on its reach among the audience. Whether it is the print media, electronic media or published media; their unparalleled demand among various sponsors and advertisers is due to the immense coverage they have among the mass. While newspapers, magazines and billboards continue to be an advertiser's favorite; the streaming media is by far considered the most effective advertising format.

Commercials on television and radio are the most popular forms of streaming media advertising; however the increased usage of the World Wide Web has made Internet talk radio advertising a great option. The Internet talk radio is a format that host shows on topical issues. These shows discuss a wide range of topics like business, finance, health, sports, education or anything else under the sky. Conversations related to specific topics are broadcasted over the media. A talk radio station encourages a high degree of audience interaction in the form of their queries and suggestions. The advertisements are generally streamed during the short breaks in between the segments of a talk show.

From the advertising perspective, an Internet based talk radio is a much better option than television or a non-internet based talk radio. Unlike a TV or a radio, most users listening to an Internet talk radio prefer to have their headphones on and are less likely to get distracted by external sounds or movements. Thus the clarity of the information communicated is much better in case of an Internet talk radio. Furthermore, it enables the users to work and listen simultaneously. A person, irrespective of where he she is, can interact on the Internet talk radio by just booting on the laptop - connecting to the Internet and logging into the radio station with their headphones on. While participating in the online talk show, the audience can easily gain access to the website of the product under discussion. They can even search the web for more details. Conversely a non-internet based TV or a radio does not offer similar accessibility. Thus the advertisers get a far better exposure of their products services through an Internet talk radio. Apart from that, low infrastructure and operational costs makes web based talk radio a lot more cost effective alternative than a non-internet based broadcasting media.

In the past two years a lot of good Internet talk radio stations have come up. They distribute advertisements live and on-demand. Advertisers are offered specific slots and the rates are charged according the number of impressions delivered. Apart from the audio coverage of the advertisements, banners and buttons are also used to increase the exposure of the advertiser's products services. To reach out to the target audience, advertising campaigns can also be geo-targeted to suit the preferences of different genres.

The Internet radio has created a major turnaround in the field of entertainment. In this fast paced world, people are always on the move- forever busy with something or other. 'Time-crunch' is what can be cited as one of the commonest universal phrase. So when do we relax or entertain ourselves The only solution remains to provide man with a medium that would be with him wherever he goes. Perpetual mobility can be cited as one of the major reasons for the evolution of the Internet, resulting in numerous offshoots of entertainment, online radio being one of them.

A casual glance around five decades back takes us to the invention of the traditional radio. Audio entertainment caught up with the people rapidly but was slowly diminished with the invention of the television. However, in the 21st century, the radio once again reared its head as one of the most popular entertainment mediums. But on this occasion, the reemergence was not traditional but modern... the birth of the Internet Radio! In fact, the popularity charts of Internet radio show a steady rise on account of a number of factors.

To begin with, the Internet radio can be accessed from anywhere around the world in comparison to its traditional counterpart. On the other hand, the power of a station's transmitter in case of the traditional one is merely 100 miles. Secondly, the traditional radio has a broadcast spectrum that catches radio stations locally. In contrast, Internet radio is not bound by any geographical location. A radio station of Kentucky can easily be listened online from Denver or any other place of the world.

Visual treat is one of the added advantages where Internet radio scores over the traditional ones. Traditional radios appeal to the ears while Internet radio appeals to the eyes and ears as well. An Internet radio website can display photos, links, program menu, special attractions and entertainment news briefings. The ads featured on the Internet radio website can inspire listeners to make a purchase through the website itself. Online radio, in this way, encourages interaction between the customers and the broadcasters. Interaction over online radio can even be initiated through training lessons delivered on behalf of the broadcasters on educative lines. A feedback from the listeners should be incorporated within the show so as to encourage more popular participation. As a matter of fact, popular participation is one of the primary reasons for the greater popularity of Internet radio over the traditional medium.

Affordability is another prime factor that has turned many broadcasters to go online. The cost involved in getting on air is comparatively much less than land radio broadcast. Moreover, Internet radio has special appeal even for those 'micro communities' who prefer listening to a particular genre of music. Traditional radio broadcasters cannot afford to bring too much variety in their shows out of fear to lose money. These broadcasters only cater to the taste of their largest audience so as to charge maximum out of the advertisers.

The advantages of Internet radio certify its increasing popularity. Greater variety, visual appeal, universal accessibility, and affordability make the online version of the radio more convenient and user-friendly. Internet radio brings in its fold the culture, music, and language of countries across the globe- making the world swing to its tunes!
