(Oct 27, 2010, Chicago) Radio Arte, a Latino-owned, bilingual, youth-driven public radio station, has joined forces with AudioNow to become the first Latino public radio station to provide mobile streaming for their station’s eclectic range of Latin music broadcasts. Listeners can hear Radio Arte live simply by dialing 1. 773.896.9569 at any time from any phone. Radio Arte’s productions approach the issues that young, local Latino’s are forced to deal with daily.
“Radio Arte selected AudioNow because our station is in an area that demands coverage. We serve inner city communities and address concerns and tastes that many other stations don’t and recently we have experienced interference from a local station.” says Carlos Mendez, programming director for Radio Arte. “While this doesn’t fix the problem, it branches our signal out to anyone with a phone and we are ecstatic to be a part of AudioNow’s service.”
“AudioNow is committed to making community radio available to the greatest number of listeners possible which we do by letting Radio Arte’s content be available to any mobile phone without expensive data plans or downloads,” says Marcel Barbulescu, the Chief Technology Officer of AudioNow. “Listening to radio should be as simple as pressing a speed dial button for the more than 80% of the market that do not access data services on their phones.”
Since the mid-90’s, Radio Arte has positioned itself as the only radio station in Chicago that has fully embraced the eclectic range of Latin music. Their Latin Alternative programming features cutting edge Spanish-language music from the U.S & Latin America, along with retro hits. Radio Arte is also committed to a media-training program for youth. Through their training, young adults receive instruction in journalism basics and are taught to analyze a variety of social justice issues; as well, they gain hands-on technical experience in radio production.
AudioNowTM is the leading provider of mobile phone radio distribution in North America. It uses proprietary, patent-pending “single-stream” technology that allows any fixed or mobile phone to access live and pre-recorded audio programming without any downloads across all mobile platforms while lowering bandwidth costs for broadcasters.
