RadioTime technology powers the radio guide for Sonos System Software 2.7
DALLAS – October 28, 2008 – RadioTime, Inc., a developer of technology for finding and listening to radio online, today announced that Sonos®, Inc. has integrated the RadioTime Guide into its Sonos Multi-Room Music System powered by the new Sonos System Software 2.7[AR1] . RadioTime and Sonos enable listeners to tune into the unique personalities and programs that only radio can offer, and do so free of charge without being tethered to a computer.
RadioTime provides a quick and easy way to find local and syndicated radio programming airing on thousands of stations around the world. Listeners can browse by genre or location to see what is available to match their tastes any time of day or night.
“Sonos makes it very easy to find all the features that really set live radio apart from streaming music services, and that is critical to broadcasters’ efforts to retain existing listeners and attract new ones,” said Bill Moore, CEO, RadioTime. “Radio is still the only medium that features the on-air personalities, talk shows, music, and up-to-the-minute news, sports and entertainment information that makes radio so great, and Sonos has opened an entire world’s worth of this unique programming to its users.”
Sonos has found 80 percent of its customers regularly use the Sonos system to tune to live radio, and decided to partner with RadioTime to expand the live and on-demand content available to listeners.
“We looked at alternatives and found RadioTime to clearly be the best option based on the combination of the sheer breadth of content it offers, its reliability and its use of open standard APIs,” said Phil Abram. President, Sonos, Inc. “The RadioTime technology makes finding a station in your local market, across the country or internationally incredibly easy. You simply use the “radio” menu on the device to search by station name, call letters, program genre or even the names of specific on-air personalities. Once you find a station or program you like, you can add it your Favorites for future listening.”
