Starting March 14, Infinity will begin streaming online audio for most of their news and talk stations. This includes Infinity's WWJ AM 950 in Detroit. Other stations going online include WINS New York, KFWB and KNX Los Angeles, WBBM-AM Chicago, KCBS San Francisco, KYW Philadelphia, WBZ Boston, KMOX St. Louis, KDKA Pittsburgh and KRLD Dallas. WCBS-AM in New York has been streaming online audio since December. Infinity Chairman/CEO Joel Hollander says that an announcement on streaming of other formats on the company's stations nationwide is forthcoming.
With WJR returning its stream and now WWJ jumping on board, it's a great day for those of us that want to listen while at work. It'll be great to listen to WWJ's traffic on the 8's before getting in the car.
It sure looks like radio has figured out that streaming can be their friend and a good way to up the battle with satellite. Having strong competition is a good thing!
