IN TUNE WITH THE WORLD: APPS TO LISTEN RADIO
Radio is a means of communication that has to coexist with the 'competition' that new media originated in the middle of the digital age. This has led to the radio, like many other media, being transformed to adapt thanks to the technology that surrounds us. Listening to the radio is a concept that does not mean the same as in years ago, because through new devices we can access it, while we perform other activities or use other applications.
A benefit that technology gives us when talking about the radio, is the possibility of knowing the offer that this means of communication gives us around the world, something that was previously much more complex.
