I stream radio to avoid having an aerial fitted. Are the broadcasters
able to work out my location? I seem to get a lot of local adverts.
I thought they would only be able to pick up the point at which I was inserted into the Internet.

What are you streaming to / with - and are you using an "app" ?

Geolocating IP addrs is not a precise science, when it works well I
might get adverts for the local FE college, when it's not doing so well
I get adverts, in Welsh, for NHS blood donation ...
Generally I like the fact that their location is quite fuzzy.
It's possible that some device you have at home will 'improve' the geolocation. For example, if you have Google Maps open with location turned on an Android phone, I think Google will phone home the (IP; GPS coords) pair.
