Please Select Internet Radio Type

A Non-Interactive Radio station is where listeners cannot control what sound recordings are streamed or when the sound recordings are streamed.

For example, a listener is not permitted to select a sound recording or program to listen to on demand (such as a podcast) or to pause, fast forward or skip sound recordings or programs.

A Semi-Interactive/Customised Internet Radio station is where listeners can control the sound recordings that are streamed by selecting particular genres, expressing preferences for particular artists, or pausing or fast forwarding the sound recordings. However, under this licence, a user is not permitted to select a particular sound recording as part of an on demand service (such as a podcast).
