Today in 1994, WXYC (89.3 FM) started offering an internet radio stream.
A University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student-run radio station, WXYC was the first traditional radio station to stream its programs on the internet, using ibiblio, a digital library and archive project run by the School of Information and Library Science and the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at UNC.
In 2021, 68% of Americans listened to internet radio, up from 34% ten years earlier.
