TIME Recognizes “The Fast Growing World of Internet Radio”

Posted in Uncategorized on March 26, 2010 by OC Talk Radio

In their special investigation into "post industrial Detroit", TIME magazine wrote about "a fairly new group of young Detroit women who are looking to leave the freshest broadcast imprint" in "the fast-growing world of Internet radio" (their words, not mine!) 

The show is called ALL GIRL TALK RADIO and features lively discussions with four "Detroit-raised businesswomen, wives and moms" who have (according to TIME) "steadily gathered steam in recent months as their hot topics and smart, sassy on-air personalities have reeled in thousands of listeners a week, some as nearby as W. 7 Mile Road and some as far away as the United Kingdom".

I mention it here for two reasons:

1.  I’m an ex-Detroiter who always likes to hear ANY good news from back home and

2.  As an even prouder INTERNET RADIO PIONEER who is thrilled to hear words like "the fast-growing world of Internet radio" and "the growing world of online radio" included in ANY mainstream magazine article.  Could they be catching on to the most powerful social medium ever imagined?

New Apple iPhone App Plays OC TALK RADIO

Posted in Internet Radio, OC Talk Radio with tags , , , , , , , , on March 21, 2010 by OC Talk Radio
As all our loyal listeners know by now, OC Talk Radio will play on any internet enabled smart phone.  But SPARK RADIO has taken that concept to a new level by creating the first iPhone app that allows you to keep surfing the web while listening to our “stimulating conversations” in the background thru the addition of a built-in web browser.
 
Using the station directory supplied by our partner RADIO TIME, listeners can instantly tune into OC TALK RADIO or 10,000 other top rated internet and terrestrial stations from around the world, with new stations being added daily.  The expectation is that there will be more than 30,000 available by April. This means users can listen to precisely what they want, when they want, whether it be music, talk radio, sports events, public radio or special programming from the ‘global community’ (including our exclusive content broadcast right here from Orange County, California).
 
An elegant interface and program guide make it easy for users to quickly find their favorite stations. Users can search for stations or programs by keyword, location or the station URL and can browse programming by genre or location. A GPS component even allows listeners to find local stations in any given city based on current GPS coordinates. “The Spark Radio app is a beautiful and fun radio application that opens the world’s selection of music and talk programming that only radio can provide,” said Bill Moore, CEO of RadioTime, Inc. “RadioTime makes it easy for Spark Radio users to find their favorite radio stations, like OC Talk Radio, and discover new ones from wherever they are.” And Spark Radio has a social component which allows listeners to create a profile and see what other people are listening to at any given moment by using an interactive Globe Navigator. Ratings of stations can be shared in the community along with any favorites. 
 
So if you want to instantly become part of a community of listeners tuned into a wide range of community stations from around the world, check out the new Apple iPhone app called SPARK RADIO.  It’s available for download through iTunes for $5.99.
