Mobile Radio Simplified. Accessible. Relevant.

Or rather CelleCast in Convergence. Radio Ink Convergence, that is. Thanks to Brida and the Radio Ink team for their thorough, accurate coverage of CelleCast’s unique spin on radio convergence. We always appreciate boosts in getting the word out about what we’re up to in making radio on demand more accessible for listeners and hosts alike. Some highlights from the article:

June 26, 2008: Music on mobile phones is much talked-about these days, especially since the iPhone began becoming the ubiquitous replacement to the ubiquitous iPod. But, along with all that music, Talk radio has a home on the phone as well, by way of CelleCast. And not just mobile phones — it works on landlines too.

CelleCast (say “sell-uh-cast”) lets people get talk programming on demand, over any phone, for free. Founder and CEO Andrew Deal tells Convergence Weekly, “We work with a system that creates maximum accessibility. We want people to be able to get to the content without having to be in a special plan, a special phone — we’re basically a walled-garden-buster to allow radio on demand to be as successful as radio.”

CelleCast’s programming lineup includes United Stations Radio Networks’ Lou Dobbs, Take on the Day’s Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Clear Channel Talk KFI-AM/Los Angeles afternoon hosts John & Ken, and syndicated tech show Into Tomorrow With Dave Graveline.The shows are available segment by segment on the day of broadcast, with a delay of about 20 minutes. There’s also a menu of podcasts and short features.
