There's not all that many regional Australian radio stations streaming their programs on the internet, but as of this week, there's one more: 3GV, broadcasting from Sale in eastern Victoria, on 1242 kHz.

However, the station will only exist with this name for one more day; according to The Spy Report, the station will be relaunched on Friday November 30th, 2007, at midday, with a new name of Gold 1242, playing oldies.

The station's stream is here.

All India Radio, India's public broadcaster, has a novel on-demand service: users can select one of a number of songs from a list, dial a number on their phone and then enter a code. The song selected will then be queued to be played over a transmitter in Chennai, Kolkata or Mumbai, during selected times.
