Broadcast Dialogue reports that 500 stations will soon be available on one app for listeners in Canada. UK-based Radioplayer is teaming up with 15 companies in Canada to launch the free app, which will be launched later this year. It will give Canadian listeners from coast to coast access to nearly every style of music, news, talk, and entertainment content on any connected device, at any time of day, from anywhere.
The companies signing onto the deal are Central Ontario Broadcasting, Clear Sky Radio, Cogeco, Corus, Durham Radio, Golden West, Harvard Broadcasting, Larche Communications, Newcap Radio, Pattison, Rogers, Rawlco Radio, RNC Media, Saskatoon Media Group, and Vista Radio.
“The way Canadians listen to radio is changing, and we’re changing with them,” said Julie Adam, Senior Vice President, Rogers Radio. “Radioplayer gives our listeners access to their favorite local stations and allows them to discover others across the country like never before. With access on mobile devices and desktop, turning the dial to your favorite stations has never been easier.”

It’ll be similar to days of old, when jocks were bold. We had our transistor radios somewhere on our person – and at all times.
Below the 49th, NextRadio will do quite nicely.
