Infinity Broadcasting has announced the creation of KYOURADIO, the world's first podcasting radio station with content created exclusively by its listeners. The home of KYOURADIO will be 1550 KYCY-AM in San Francisco and streamed online at www.kyouradio.com beginning on Monday, May 16.

 

"We're always thrilled when we can incubate new programming ideas and bring them to life on our radio stations in ways we never before imagined," said Infinity Chairman and CEO Joel Hollander. "Whether it's creating original formats or adapting new technology to our existing business, Infinity is leading the charge for unique listening experiences. There is a profound shift underway in the way we use technology that allows everyone to have a voice. KYOURADIO harnesses that power by serving our listeners with content developed by them for them and offering a platform to share it with the rest of the world."

 

Beginning today, users will be able to upload podcasts of varying lengths for free at www.kyouradio.com where it will be eligible to be selected for broadcast. Programming on the station will be determined by listener interests and feedback, and evaluated on a daily basis.

 

"We envision KYOURADIO not only as a place to hear a fresh and new perspective created from the outside, but an outlet with which to foster the creativity of undiscovered talent from all walks of life," added Hollander.
