Social Radio Unveils New Listener Interface Design and Interactive Software Demo

May 31, 2012 - PRLog -- PORTLAND, OR – Social Radio LLC an innovator in software technology that improves the way Radio stations present and deliver content to listeners unveiled a new player design and interactive software demo on their website, http://www.socialradio.org. The new player or “Listener Interface” and interactive software demonstration will exemplify the unique value the Social Radio player/platform offers Radio stations, their listeners and advertisers.

Steve Allaway, Social Radio’s CEO, stated, “Social Radio gives Radio stations the capabilities listeners and advertisers demand from their online/mobile news and entertainment sources that they aren’t getting from traditional streaming platforms. Traditional streaming is one way. The internet is two way. The Social Radio platform is the first of its kind to blend what listeners truly love about Radio, the great content and local personalities that connect with them, with the kind of choice, control and personalization that is native to online and mobile media consumers.” Mr. Allaway also quipped, “And we’ve got the only online player for Radio stations that is flexible enough to do a demo of the player, using the player.”

Social Radio’s player and platform for online and mobile Radio listening is a dramatic break from what has been the Radio industry’s standard content presentation online – a single station broadcasting to many. Social Radio also offers more than the song personalization hyped as “new” by other traditional streaming providers in their attempt to offer a product that competes with successful online companies like Pandora. The Social Radio platform leapfrogs all currently available online Radio technology by leveraging the professionally curated content and personalities that make local Radio so special, with more listener choice, control and personalization, along with technology for delivering targeted, interactive advertisements in a flexible multimedia playback environment. Simply put Social Radio makes it possible for Radio stations to do what they have always done best, make great radio, while giving advertisers the accountability they demand and listeners the ability to listen to Radio in a way that is compatible with their modern connected lifestyle.

Visitors to http://www.socialradio.org/about will first see an example of Social Radio’s latest custom listener interface. As Social Radio builds new designs for customers, the latest design will be featured as part of their software demo. Once using the player visitors will hear a walkthrough of many of the Social Radio player/platform features including Personalized Local Radio, Listener Choice and Control, Song Skipping, Song Rating, Sharing Radio to Facebook, Advertising Accountability, Targeted Advertising for Radio, Multiple Channels for Online Radio Stations, Social Radio Listener Experience, Social Radio Advertiser Experience, and more.

The team at Social Radio has been pioneering technology to enable local Radio stations to deliver Sound Exchange compliant, personalized Radio for their listeners for several years. This new evolution of their website and player technology along with an expanding list of broadcast and new media clients is an example of their industry leading vision.
