119 Radio Stations Are Now Live On Amazon Alexa

XAPPMEDIA has deployed custom ALEXA skills for a number of broadcast groups and individual radio stations to make it easy for listeners to get to their favorite station instantly on AMAZON ECHO and other ALEXA-enabled devices. Podcast, on-demand listening and customized dayparted welcome messages are also included.

XAPPMEDIA has published 119 custom ALEXA skills for radio stations in 26 states and the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. XAPP’s development of FEDERATED MEDIA’s B100 ALEXA skill in MARCH 2017 represented the first radio station available directly to listeners on AMAZON ECHO. In less than six months, XAPP has brought another 118 radio stations to AMAZON ALEXA enabling listeners to instantly access their favorite stations by voice. All 119 stations were deployed on XAPPMEDIA’s interactive voice software platform.

“We are proud to be working with stations ranging from large radio groups like SCRIPPS, URBAN ONE, BONNEVILLE and FEDERATED MEDIA to local operators such as BROOKE COMMUNICATIONS, ALL PRO BROADCASTING and GABRIEL BROADCASTING. XAPP was able to move so quickly on behalf of 119 radio stations because of the four years of investment into our SaaS solution. The XAPPMEDIA Platform is designed specifically to deliver voice interactive engagement between brands, media and consumers and ensure high quality of service. A voice strategy for radio is about more than just getting your signal live on ALEXA. It is also about capabilities that enable you to serve listeners on multiple voice assistants simultaneously and ensure high availability performance over time. We look forward to enabling several hundred more stations to connect with listeners on the voice assistant platforms very soon,” said XAPPMEDIA CEO/Co-Founder PAT HIGBIE.
