CBS Wants You To Dial "*RADIO"

DToTheJ

DToTheJ

KYW now has it in their top of the hour ID that they are available "on your smartphone by dialing *RADIO." And when you dial up *72346, they sent you a text to a link where you can download CBS' Radio.com app. Lest you thought you could listen to KYW on a telephone line...

Anyone know if other CBS stations like WIP and WPHT are using this ploy?
 
Not in NY. It's sad that the CBS cluster is all sports and no music in Philly. 94.1 WYSP in Philly should return as should 92.3 K-Rock in New York.

What about WOGL 98.1?

Don't you know that anything recorded before "Smells Like Teen Spirit" doesn't count for X?
 
94.1 as a sports talker is pulling a 3.8 according to the latest book down here. WYSP was #4 in what was then a 4 rock station market. Just keep wishing, XCountry. And getting back to the thread's title, the KYW TOH mention is **RADIO.
 
IMHO: The app is a poor one. One some Android phones running versions before Android 4 (and there are a lot of people with those phones, which carriers won't allow to be updated, still under contract) the app won't load properly. Then it makes you re-do a complicated sign-in process every day or so.

Not that this is the only bad radio app. The company that does NJ 101.5 and WDEL (among others) is far worse. Broadcasters seem to have a talent for finding bad code writers. Either that, or good code writers have no interest in developing apps for broadcasters.

In all fairness, IHeartRadio's app is OK (giving the devil its due).
 
TuneIn is a far, far better app to listen to CBS's radio stations than is Radio.com.

Though only Radio.com has the HD sub channels if you care about those.
 
WYSP still exists as WIP HD3. Needs some attention by CBS, since every day more and more people are switching to streaming and the song catalog has never been updated. Come on CBS....many people still pine for YSP......I have HD radio but WYSP is available on Radio.com, why not offer all songs ever played on YSP? It's a Jelli format.....Just call the Jelli people with a new list??????
