Futuri, Alexa & You
Futuri Media, a global leader and innovator in media technology, today announced that their clients will have access to customized Alexa Skills for their radio stations. With Alexa Skills, stations can deliver their streaming and on-demand content to devices like the Amazon Echo, Tap, and Dot. Futuri Media CEO Daniel Anstandig commented, “Amazon Alexa-enabled devices have exploded in popularity this year. Seeing the potential audience and revenue lift associated with this rapidly expanding audio distribution channel, we’ve made development in the ‘smart speaker’ space a priority. It’s a tremendous opportunity for broadcast brands to stay on the cutting edge.”
Futuri’s customized Alexa Skills allow you to stream your favorite station simply by asking, “Alexa, start playing Star 95.” Alexa can also play your station’s custom forecast and latest local news by request.
Parties interested in learning how Futuri Media can work with their stations to develop custom Alexa Skills can reach out to their Futuri Media partner rep or partner@futurimedia.com, or visit futurimedia.com/alexa.
