Good News from Radioplayer Worldwide: Welcome España!
Radioplayer, the official industry-backed radio platform, is working with Spanish broadcasters to launch Radioplayer España. The Radioplayer app is now in the stores in Spain, with more than 300 stations available to listen to at launch, and more to follow.
RNE (the Spanish public service broadcaster), and the main commercial radio groups are all supporting the platform. They’re sending official content like live streams, podcasts and catch-up programmes, logos, and ‘now playing’ information into Radioplayer systems.
This means hundreds of Spanish stations will be available on the Radioplayer España iPhone and Android apps, on the web player, in the Alexa skill, on Sonos and BOSE speakers, Google Cast, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Smart Device Link, and many more automotive and in-home integrations.
In addition, Spanish stations will join the international Radioplayer data feed which powers the hybrid radio interfaces in many Audi, VW and Porsche cars. These smart devices can switch automatically between DAB, FM, and streaming, to keep listeners locked in to their favourite radio stations.
Spain is the twelfth country to join the Radioplayer family. As one of the ‘big five’ European nations, it’s a key territory for the platform’s strategy. The Radioplayer model was first developed as a unique collaboration between the BBC and commercial radio in the UK, creating an innovative listening platform for the digital age.
