Audio network TuneIn is partnering with Red Bull Music Academy to bring its newly relaunched streaming platform, RBMA Radio, to TuneIn’s millions of monthly active users. Beginning Thursday, TuneIn users in the U.S. and Canada have access to RBMA Radio, a 24/7 station with programming from six continents.
“Red Bull Music Academy’s dedication to artist development through surfacing emerging genres and global music scenes is unmatched,” said Charles Raggio, Senior Director of Artist Partnerships and Branded Content for TuneIn. “We strategized this partnership with their teams over the course of a year and could not be more excited to help distribute RBMA Radio and its world-class music and culture content to TuneIn’s audience.”
Said Red Bull Music Academy co-founder Many Ameri: “RBMA Radio is a trusted source for music you didn’t even know you were looking for, and TuneIn is the place to go for listeners who want to discover music that’s new to them.”
Following the launch, RBMA Radio will be broadcasting live from pop-up stations in Atlanta, August 15-20, and Montreal, September 25-October 28, in conjunction with the annual Red Bull Music Academy.
