Discover the history of internet radio, fascinating facts about its evolution, and why Minatrix.FM is the choice of club and electronic music lovers 24/7.
There was a time when, to hear your favorite music, you had to tune in to the right frequency on an FM receiver. Today, everything has changed: internet radio has completely transformed the idea of broadcasting, opening access to an endless stream of music from anywhere in the world. But how did it all begin?
The story of a single signal
The world’s first internet radio appeared in 1993. It was a small experiment by the American project Carl Malamud’s Internet Talk Radio, which broadcast interviews with technology experts. Just a couple of years later, in 1995, Nullsoft launched Winamp and the Shoutcast streaming server — a breakthrough for online broadcasting. Thanks to this, anyone could create their own station and stream music over the internet.
Interesting facts:
-
The first-ever online music broadcast took place in 1994 and transmitted a Rolling Stones concert.
-
By the early 2000s, more than 50 million people were listening to internet radio every month.

Today, major online radio stations can have hundreds of thousands of listeners at the same time.
