Community Radio iPhone Streaming
// 11 September 2011 Ally Kallis
It sometimes seems like there is an iPhone 'app' for just about everything! From games to fitness help, all the way to science advice, and almost all commercial radio stations having their own application so you can listen on the go. It just seems fair that community radio is given a go too!
The CBOnline Project is currently working on a mobile phone application that will allow you to stream community stations like 979fm right from the palm of your hand.
This application will let users add favourite stations, search for stations that are alike, and let them tune in to their local community radio station wherever they are.
No news yet on when this app will be realised, but keep a heads up.
