WRIF, jacapps Launch Customized iPhone Stickers

RADIO ONLINE | Monday, May 15, 2017

Rock WRIF-FM (The Riff) Detroit is the first radio station to take advantage of Apple's new iOS stickers, with the release of the Dave & Chuck WRIF iPhone sticker pack, provided by jacapps, a Detroit-based app developer. As a result of Apple's introduction of custom stickers to iPhone messages, WRIF listeners can post from a selection of images in their text messages. Listeners may download the Dave & Chuck WRIF sticker pack from a special section of the AppStore. Once installed, they can drag and drop the "stickers" into their text conversations.

"WRIF has always been on the leading edge of technology," noted Beasley Detroit Market Manager Mac Edwards. "The Riff was the first radio station in Detroit to stream online, and it currently has the largest digital footprint of any radio station in the Midwest. So, when Dave & Chuck said they wanted their huge fan base to be able to use this technology to share images, catch phrases, and memes, we were proud to make their wishes come true."

"We are committed to pioneering new methods of engagement between our audience and our brands," added Beasley Media Group Digital Executive VP Steve Meyers. "This is a fun example of that commitment."

"We were happy to be involved in the creation of customized iPhone stickers for Beasley," saids jacapps COO Bob Kernen. "The Dave and Chuck Show is a phenomenon here in Detroit, and these stickers are going to be incredibly popular. It's another jacapps 'first' and we we're excited that Beasley Media Group led the way."
