SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. Oct. 8, 2008 -- Weather Underground is pleased to
announce the availability
of WunderRadio, an iPhone application that gives
users access to thousands of streaming internet radio stations powered by
RadioTime's extensive guide.
WunderRadio utilizes the iPhone's GPS capability to locate nearby radio
stations including NOAA weather radio streams. RadioTime guide provides a
quick and easy way to find radio content from thousands of stations across
the world. Listeners can browse by genre or location to see what is
available for their tastes, locations and connections. Users can build a
list of their favorite stations providing instant access to a personalized
directory. WunderRadio also allows users to access radio scanners to pick
up local police, fire and EMS agencies across the US.
"The initial impetus behind this application was to provide iPhone users
with instant access to local weather radio streams," said Alan Steremberg,
President of Weather Underground. "During development, we decided to extend
the scope of radio stations offered by working with RadioTime. The result
is an easy to use portal to over 60,000 of the best talk, music and sports
radio stations around the globe."
WunderRadio provides links to the web site of the radio station that you
are listening to as well as information on any songs that are playing. When
listening to the weather radio stations users can link to Weather
Underground's free iPhone weather. The application features internet radio
stations that are streamed by Windows Media and MP3 formats -- providing
users with a vast number of stations.
"WunderRadio has created an innovative approach for iPhone users to explore
the unique music, talk formats and personalities only radio can offer, and
which online streaming music services just can't provide," said Bill Moore,
CEO, RadioTime. "The integration of RadioTime guide with Weather
Underground's technology makes it easy to browse the enormous selection of
radio the world has to offer."
As part of the ongoing relationship between Weather Underground and
RadioTime, both companies are also pleased to announce that Weather
Underground powered weather radio stations are now to be included in
RadioTime's directory of channels.
