Vancouver, BC, April 6, 2016--(T-Net)--14 Oranges today announced the launch of the first Apple TV application for a Canadian radio station.
The Zone @ 91-3 application, which is already available for both Apple and Android smartphones, now adds support for 4th generation Apple TV devices. Listeners can download the application through the App Store from the Apple TV menu.
The application goes beyond the listening capabilities already provided by current cable TV services supporting local radio by adding both album cover art and social media posts from the band currently playing on the station.
"This app lets us bypass subscription services to bring our music and personality to devices at the centre of every home," said John Shields, Senior Programming Manager of The Zone @ 91-3. "It will allow us to continue bringing our unique brand of radio to our listeners on all sorts of next-generation devices, in Victoria or around the world."
The application is the first generation iteration of the application, and will be enhanced as use of the application increases.
“14 Oranges has been proactive in delivering the next generation of digital engagement tools for our listeners; and have consistently kept us on top of the latest technology innovations,” added Shields.
“Enriched media playback capabilities are bringing the radio experience to a whole new generation of digital users and continuing the engage the generation who grew up listening to the radio in their home,” said Sylvain Marcotte, CEO of 14 Oranges. “We are proud to help radio evolve onto the next generation of digital devices.”
