CBS Radio, Spacial to Offer Syndicated Programming
Spacial Audio is partnering with CBS Radio News to offer Internet-only radio stations the opportunity to carry syndicated CBS programming. CBS Newscasts, Tech News, Weekend News Roundup, World News Roundup, and "60 Minutes" can be scheduled to run on any station using Spacial Audio's SAM Broadcaster. All CBS content can be programmed to run automatically.
"This is a first for Internet radio," says Spacial CEO, Bryan Payne. "Pure-play online radio stations now have an ability to provide listeners with familiar, quality news content from a major network at low cost."
"Having high quality syndication content automatically scheduled into the broadcast lets online broadcasters improve the quality of their broadcast without extra work. Access to this level of quality content was simply not in the budget for smaller online broadcasters, until now," says Spacial Audio CTO, Louis Louw.
CBS News VP/Radio Harvey Nagler stated, "We are proud to offer the internet radio community access to this strong lineup of quality CBS News programs. Partnering with a leading software and technology company like Spacial Audio gives CBS Interactive a direct connection to thousands of online-only radio stations."
