Internet radio from Africa
Recently the number of radio stations broadcasting live from Africa through the web has increased. The following list will be added to with new internet broadcasters.
The connection is not always optimal; at times it's impossible to connect to the audio stream. Some stations broadcast irregularly and tend to disappear offline for days.
To listen, you will need player software; most stations use the free RealPlayer-plugin.
The stations marked with a 'W' use Windows Media Player (also included with new versions of Windows and Internet Explorer).
