Hey stupid. They broadcast on the airwaves, then they are a radio station.
The fact that they also stream their broadcast on the net makes no
difference.

I think his point can be better understood by looking at this line from
the original message - "Offshore Music Radio, the leading global internet
radio station..." Notice the "internet radio station" in that - the internet
is not a RADIO station.

Further, their shortwave broadcast appears to be a single day event ("14th
August"), not part of their regular business. As such, they are really
stretching the use of the word "radio" in their advertising.

Of course, DxAce is perhaps being a little oversensitive for making an
issue over this, but he is certainly not stupid as you've said. And I say
only a little oversensitive because this doesn't really sit very well with
me, a dedicated radio enthusiast, either.
