The geniuses at Weather Underground have done it again! Now they’ve
capitalized on their insight into weather radio to bring the iPhone
world WunderRadio. Available in the App Store (click opens iTunes) for
US$5.99, WunderRadio provides NOAA Weather streams based on your
current location.

But there’s a lot more to WunderRadio than NOAA Weather. Weather
Underground has joined with RadioTime.com to provide thousands of radio
streams from around the world. Once again, based on your current
location, WunderRadio provides a listing of nearby stations to provide
you with local AM, FM, and Internet radio streams.

Enthusiasts of live police, fire, and EMS scanners get a bonus in the
form of scanner feeds from ScanAmerica. us. With all of this content,
who needs iTunes? Of course, the app has to do a good job of capturing
the audio stream on the iPhone.

“The initial impetus behind this application was to provide iPhone
users with instant access to local weather radio streams,” said Alan
Steremberg, President of Weather Underground. “During development, we
decided to extend the scope of radio stations offered by working with
RadioTime - the result is an easy to use portal to over 60,000 of the
best talk, music and sports radio stations around the globe.”
