Radio 2.0 refers to technologies used for broadcast on the Internet without requiring additional software or plugins to either broadcast or listen/watch. A Radio 2.0 channel could theoretically be used to send data to a traditional radio device such as a Digital Signal Processor and transmitter, removing the need for a traditional radio station to use traditional, expensive hardware.

For example instead of downloading an application such as Shoutcast to listen to streaming audio a user just types in a URL in their browser to either listen to audio or watch live video and can interact with the broadcast by way of "Click to Call" on a web page or via a phone line that connects to a VOIP channel connected to a Web based radio studio.

In addition to this a user does not need desktop or traditional radio mixing hardware to allow multiple channels to be played at once. All the underlying commands for handling guest callers, talk shows and recordings are done through the user's web browser via a customized HTML5 user interface.

The technologies that are used in Radio 2.0 are emerging and older technologies such as WebRTC, SIP, Freeswitch, NodeJS and HTML5 as well as a number of other technologies.
