The TAGSTATION blog post offers ways radio can capitalize on interactivity. "Being interactive in the NEXTRADIO app means delivering hybrid content: over-the-air audio and enhancements through the smartphone’s Internet backchannel. You’re in luck – the audio part is already done! Now all you need is a way to sync up the visuals and text that get displayed along side that audio. How does one achieve this? Though you can build your own solution, we’re going to focus today on TAGSTATION data services – the only commercially available end-to-end solution for hybrid content delivery."
