Short

It links straight to each broadcaster's own public stream and never restreams anything. Channels are sorted by how much people actually watch. No account needed. It works in any browser and as an app for Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV.
Long
Broadcast Atlas is a free directory of live public television and radio: about 8,000 TV channels and about 29,000 radio stations from about 220 countries. It is a map, not a broadcaster: the player connects straight to each broadcaster's own public stream, and Broadcast Atlas never proxies, records or restreams anything. The catalog comes from two open projects, IPTV-org for television and Radio Browser for radio, plus official streams found on broadcasters' own websites. Bots check the listed streams four times a day; a stream that keeps failing is hidden until it works again. Channels are sorted by popularity, which simply means minutes watched with the sound on. In the last 30 days, people in about 110 countries watched or listened. No account is needed, and only a visitor's two-letter country code is kept, not their IP address. It runs in any browser on desktop and phone, and as an app for Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV. A Google Play version is coming soon. Independent developer Randall Mills launched it in July 2026.

How it works
- It links straight to each broadcaster’s own public stream: your browser or TV connects to the broadcaster, not to us.
- It never proxies, records or restreams anything.
- The catalog comes from open projects: IPTV-org for television and Radio Browser for radio, plus official streams on broadcasters’ own websites.
- Bots check the listed streams four times a day; a stream that keeps failing is hidden until it works again.
What it isn’t
It isn’t a broadcaster or a streaming service, and it doesn’t host any video or audio. A stream being reachable doesn’t prove that its broadcaster authorizes or endorses the listing. Broadcasters can ask for a listing to be removed on the reports and takedowns page.
