Sun Broadcast Group today announced that the first ever, INTERACTIVE country countdown show powered by Shazam for Radio has hit the air. During the nationally syndicated " The Hit List with Fitz", listeners can use Shazam to get access to additional content, allowing them to interact with what they are listening to in real time.
- (1888PressRelease) May 15, 2015 - NEW YORK, NY - In addition to the features listeners are instructed to Shazam, the show also includes "hidden" interactive content, including behind the scenes video, exclusive contests and insider information on featured artists. Also, in a radio first, listeners can immediately replay what they've heard and share it with their friends across social media, email and text. The show also features an interactive segment, "The Fitz Challenge", where listeners can play along live using Shazam.
"We are changing the way listeners interact with radio by allowing them to get content in real time, as they listen to the radio" said Fitz, Host of "The Hit List". "The future is NOW. When my partners at Sun Broadcast Group told me about incorporating Shazam for Radio into our broadcasts, every hair on my body stood up. Now my "P1's since D1" are even more engaged and listening longer. This is our way of securing the future of radio in this new digital world."
"Since the launch of the platform, the number of Shazams during broadcasts have increased dramatically" said Sun Broadcast Group's SVP Programming & Affiliate Relations Ron Rivlin. "Shazam for Radio provides great insight into the types of content that resonates most with listeners. This information is an essential tool to help stations make programming decisions, and find ways to further engage with their fans. No other country countdown has that ability."
Sun promises more exciting news on Shazam for Radio in the coming days as the service is now available to individual stations nationwide, allowing them the first ever, interactive content experience, real-time content sharing, and even appointment setting for station contents and promotions.
