Clear Channel faz aposta forte na net

«Clear Channel Radio has announced the launch of a national roll out of mobile radio programming. New York’s Z100 will stream live radio and new features directly to cell phones across the country. The mobile service is provided by Cingular Wireless and DKNY Jeans is the first sponsor of Z100 Mobile. Subscribers of Z100 Mobile can interact directly from their phones to listen to streamed and on-demand content including podcasts of celebrity interviews and other segments. They can also find the title and artist of the last 10 songs played on-air, make a request directly to Z100 and receive a text message alert 15 minutes before the song is played, get free station wallpapers for their phone, rate listener-submitted photos and obtain real-time reports on local traffic.

“With Z100 reaching 2.5 million listeners each week, and 50 million consumers subscribing to Cingular Wireless, we are creating one of the largest audiences for any radio or mobile phone application in the US, thereby monumentally expanding Clear Channel Radio’s mobile content portfolio,” said Jeff Littlejohn, executive vice president of Distribution Development for Clear Channel Radio. “By connecting listeners to their favorite radio stations via cell phone, and adding interactive features, Clear Channel Radio has found an additional platform to deliver on-demand entertainment to, and drive listening among its active, on-the-go audiences across the country.”  Clear Channel Radio expects to launch similar programs on up to 100 more of its radio stations within the next year.»
