Land based (terrestrial) radio stations have upfront costs of up to $500k and annual operating costs of 250k.   And, the audience area is limited to a few miles.  Streaming on the other hand, has significantly lower startup and operating costs, and the audience reach is basically unlimited.  Anyone in the world with either a smart phone, smart device or computer and internet service can listen to SCAZRadio.  By Streaming SCAZRadio, a Sun City Resident traveling home to Germany or Wisconsin can listen to SCAZRadio and find out what is happening here in town.  They cannot do that on AM/FM radio.
