Infinity News stations to podcast
Infinity's nine all-news stations will offer free daily podcasts to its listeners featuring the day's top local and national news, sports, business and entertainment headlines, as well as weather and traffic updates, it was announced by Joel Hollander, Infinity CEO.
Podcasts will vary in length and include news broadcast on the stations and content developed exclusively for download. WINS-AM NY will lead Infinity's initiative beginning in July.
"We are increasingly living in an on-demand world, where listeners want to receive our award-winning content via alternative means," said Hollander. "Podcasting, while relatively new, is being adapted by more and more users everyday, and is a perfect complement to our business model."
Infinity's all-news stations include WINS, WCBS-AM (New York), KFWB-AM (Los Angeles), KNX-AM (Los Angeles), WBBM-AM (Chicago), KCBS-AM (San Francisco) KYW-AM (Philadelphia), WBZ-AM (Boston), and WWJ-AM (Detroit). They began online streaming of their programming in March.
Stuff Magazine debuting radio show
Stuff Magazine will launch its first radio show, Stuff Sports on Saturday, June 4. The show will air live Saturdays from 10:00PM-1:00AM (ET) in 200 markets nationwide via the Sports Byline USA Broadcast Network (including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Miami). Stuff Sports will also be heard on Sirius ch. 122. In the past 18 months the editors of Stuff magazine have worked to distinguish itself from its successful sibling, Maxim. Stuff was originally launched in Europe as a toys for boys mag and Stuff in the US has moved towards that original incarnation. The program will be hosted by Joe Spano and Bob Black from studios in NYC and will welcome guests from the sports world along with guests from other walks of life. The hosts will also take listener calls.
