The use of streaming services has allowed access to radio programming from varied locations as well as at different times. Although Late Night Woman’s Hour is stripped across the schedule at a regular time on Radio 4 late in the evening, audiences can choose to access the programme at a time convenient to them.

The internet has allowed radio to take advantage of alternative modes of distribution and a synergy of promotion. Audiences can access the radio show and additional content. The radio show can also be promoted across other webpages and easily linked to through interactive content.

Smart phones and mobile technology have allowed for easy access to both live radio and downloaded content. The ability for users to access quality radio in a range of locations is an advantage to encourage more listening and alternative audiences. Apps and podcasts are also growing in popularity as alternative modes of distribution for radio producers.
