TuneIn, Live 365 On Same Frequency
• TuneIn and Live365 announced a TuneIn On Air distribution agreement, allowing Live365 broadcasters to be able to access TuneIn On Air distribution as part of Live365’s premium packages or as an add-on to any other package. TuneIn On Air is a new program that allows internet radio broadcasters to expand their reach to TuneIn’s 30 million US-based listeners via TuneIn’s app and 200+ connected devices and auto partners, which include Tesla, Volvo, Sonos, Amazon, Samsung, and others.
TuneIn On Air is now included in Live365’s premium broadcast packages — Broadcast 4 and Broadcast 5 — while those on remaining packages are able to select TuneIn On Air as an add-on to their current package.
Richard Stern, CEO of TuneIn, said, “This partnership with Live365 fits perfectly within our mission to reinvent radio for a connected world and democratize access to radio for broadcasters large and small. We believe great conversations are driven by the power of the human voice and we know our listeners rely on us to stay connected to the issues that matter to them most via our content catalog. We’re thrilled to help more broadcasters reach TuneIn’s expansive audience.”
Live365 CEO Jon Stephenson commented, “We’re excited to strike up this historic distribution deal with TuneIn to offer our Live365 Broadcaster Community access to TuneIn On Air’s unparalleled distribution reach. As internet radio pioneers, this is an extraordinary opportunity to combine forces and allow broadcasters to utilize Live365’s easy-to-use tools and licensing coverage while reaching TuneIn’s millions of listeners. We’re proud to offer this to our community as we focus on expanding our distribution offering.”
