Abstract

The increase in the number of web-pages where links to Internet-radios are offered has made these services one of the most popular in nowadays Internet. This popularity has motivated the interest of the scientific community and a lot of research has been carried out in order to improve and study these services. This paper presents the analysis of the Internet-radio hosted by the www.asturies.com digital newspaper. The study has been performed thanks to a log database stored over a period of almost two years. The traffic between every service device has been studied and different elements about users' behaviour have been analyzed. The conclusions are essential to improve the configuration of one of these services. Service models for Internet-radio services can be developed and help managers to test different configurations or predict future situations, avoiding problems in advance.
