Clear Channel Radio and mobile entertainment provider mSpot have announced that music programming from ten Clear Channel stations can now be heard on mSpot’s radio services. Clear Channel Radio is providing Contemporary Hits Radio (CHR) and Urban programming from five of its most popular terrestrial stations, WHTZ, WWPR, KHHT, WGCI and WMIB, which are leaders in these formats in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami. Spanish-language content from four Latin channels and a playlist of Hip-Hop hits, all created by Clear Channel Radio’s Format Lab, also are available to mSpot subscribers commercial free. In addition, next month mSpot expects to distribute live broadcasts from almost 100 Clear Channel Radio stations in all.
“We are focused on providing what our listeners demographics are telling us they want from media, and we will continue to pursue opportunities to offer our fresh, original audio via mobile phones to meet that demand,” said Jeff Littlejohn, EVP of Distribution Development for Clear Channel Radio. “Clear Channel Radio is expanding its customer base by embracing a variety of new technologies and distribution platforms while also creating the very best content that we are proud to be delivering to mSpot’s growing subscriber base.”
"Wireless carriers, entertainment and media companies are working hard to make new and compelling content available to a variety of mobile phones,” said mSpot CEO and co-founder Daren Tsui. “Radio programming is among the most requested mobile content, so we’re thrilled to be able to offer Clear Channel Radio’s top-rated and original music channels to mSpot users."
