Emmis Partners With StreamTheWorld, Ando For New Streaming Platform
Emmis Communications has allied with streaming-technology provider StreamTheWorld and audience-measurement company Ando Media to put all Emmis radio stations onto a new streaming-audio platform.
"Emmis has long been a leading innovator in the digital space," said Emmis SVP/Chief Strategy Officer Greg Loewen. "This partnership reflects our enhanced commitment to driving growth in the rapidly growing digital audio sector. Ando Media and StreamTheWorld's industry-leading platforms will allow us to provide our audiences with an outstanding listening experience and our advertisers with an enhanced degree of service and accountability."
With the deal, Rhythmic WQHT (Hot 97)/New York has begun streaming for the first time. Other stations will migrate to the new platform over the coming weeks.
"We are excited about the addition of Emmis as both our radio and our digital partner," said Ando Media COO Paul Krasinski. "This partnership will allow Ando to further our measurement of the full digital audio marketplace and is a great opportunity for us to assist Emmis in both enhancing their listeners' experience with targeted advertisements and in supplying their advertisers with real-time measurement and accountability."
StreamTheWorld SVP Neil Sweeney said, "Emmis has demonstrated a desire to expand their radio operations to embrace the digital dial. The simultaneous launch of Hot 97 on StreamTheWorld's market-leading online platform as well as on mobile marks the first step in a detailed, progressive partnership that will allow for all of Emmis' radio stations to take advantage of all of StreamTheWorld's partnerships and technologies. We are extremely excited about this launch and the beginning of this long-term relationship."
