8:22am. Saturday morning. Still laying in bed.
Yes, it's past 8am and I'm still laying here... thinking about radio. I've got this problem with streaming our audio on our app. I'm trying to figure it out and somehow Andrew Dice Clay may have suggested a solution. Here's the history. A couple years ago we signed up with these people called Boost Media out of Indianapolis. They had this product called "My Station App." Boost's idea was that one day radio stations all over the country would each have their own app. It didn't turn out that way. Most stations just stream with Iheart or Radio.com or tune in.com and don't worry about having their own app. Why would they? |
1. listen live to our station
2. watch live our local programs
My idea was that it should be similar to my grandpa carrying around an old transistor radio. One click and he would be listening to WJOB. I figured we could always be two clicks away. One click to open the app. One more click to either watch or listen to my amazing local radio morning show buffoonery. It took a while, but we actually got the technology to work, although the worldwide audience interested in local radio in Indiana didn't.
Now, though, I can't find Boost anywhere. I made a few phone calls and sent a few emails but none of the three dancing Jasons has gotten back to me. I don't know where Boost went, and I don't know what happened to the company that designed the My Station App in the first place.
