SUN BROADCAST GROUP and SHAZAM have entered into a multi-year contract extension to continue their SHAZAM FOR RADIO platform. The service allows programing and advertising content on radio stations across AMERICA to be recognized by the SHAZAM app.
National brands and stations alike have harnessed SHAZAM FOR RADIO throughout the past 2 years and the service is now widely available to nearly 1,000 stations across multiple groups such as ALPHA MEDIA, BEASLEY BROADCASTING, HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS, CUMULUS and CBS in addition to syndicated shows including THE HIT LIST WITH FITZ, THE FITZ SHOW, LITTLE STEVEN’S UNDERGROUND GARAGE and SLACKER AND STEVE.
“We are excited to extend our partnership with SUN BROADCAST GROUP,” said SHAZAM CRO GREG GLENDAY. “We are always looking for ways to deliver a great music-discovery experience, and SUN BROADCAST GROUP helps us achieve that. SHAZAM FOR RADIO is a robust platform for listeners - and for labels and advertisers, it yields unparalleled data insights.”
“When we launched SHAZAM FOR RADIO in 2015, I knew we had a game changer on our hands,” said SBG CEO JASON BAILEY. “With over a half million Shazams, countless forward-thinking advertisers and MOUNDS of incredible data that we’ve gained on over the air radio listeners... there’s simply nothing better for the future of our industry than SHAZAM FOR RADIO! Is your station Shazamable? If not, what are you waiting for?!”
