Reception Platforms

Terrestrial reception:
Terrestrial reception is means how we receive our radio broadcasts. this is normally received thought TV dishes or anteaters on the actually device. then this is transformed back into the original sound and played through out speakers. basically with out this we couldn't pick up the transition given out by the radio company and we would never be able to transform the signal into the sound that we hear.

Satellite reception:
Satellite reception is where the transmission from the radio station is sent to a satellite in outer space and is then sent to out homes. This usually requires a subscription. A certain sort of areal dish is needed in order for us to pick up this signal, normally our sky dish. but there are other ways of picking up foreign channels.

Streaming:
Streaming to me is where something is sent out via web or transmission.and can be picked up. but also this means where something is constantly showed and available for a certain period of time(usually until they stop streaming it). 

On-Demand Radio:
On-Demand Radio is where a radio broadcast can be listened to after it has been aired(E.G. Streamed on a Iplayer).

Radio changed for listeners?
Radio used to be only available through specific radio instruments. but with the evolve of technology radio had become a lot easier to listen to. now you can listen to radio on almost every technological device.

Normal Radio: 
Normal radio has changed a lot for the listeners because you can now interact with the stations via computers, laptops, tablets and phones. this means the audience is more interactive with the stations making the radio a lot more popular. this also means that games and other entertaining things can now happen. Also the use of televisions in this new era can be used to listen to the radio. this means you don't have to have a radio player in order to listen the the radio. With the use of the web you can view the radio station producers making the radio station though live streaming.
