Other enhancements include a streamlined navigation drawer that puts all user options in one place as well as in-app tutorials showing listeners how to interact with their local stations. A new feature available to stations utilizing the TagStation cloud-based service is dynamically-driven related content “cards”. The cards will accompany station songs and programming events to provide the listener with more information about the live broadcast while providing the station with extended advertiser and promotion options. These may include upcoming concerts, record release dates, recently played, next up on-air, and more.
