Webradios from 105 meet with a positive response
Use of Radio 105's web radio services has increased by 338 percent since its launch last year.
The use of Radio 105's web radio offerings has increased by 338 percent since its launch last year. Today, the web radios are used 509,000 times per month, as the station announced. Giuseppe Scaglione, founder and managing director of Radio 105, does not miss the opportunity to rant about the competition from the SRG. The usage figures for 105's web radio offerings are not included in the "official listener figures", which are collected by the SRG research service using the Radiocontrol clock. Streaming causes a delay that the clock cannot record. "I hope that customers and media agencies will not only take the sluggish Radiocontrol figures into account in future, but will also incorporate the figures available here into their planning," says Scaglione.Radio 105 currently operates three special-interest radio stations in addition to its main program "105", which are broadcast on the Internet in CD quality: 105 Dope (hip hop and R'n'B), 105 Classics (club and cult hits from the 70s and 80s) and 105 Hitradio (the latest hits). Further specialty radio stations are being planned.
