A U.K. radio collaboration produces an online player that offers 400 stations

It’s called the UK Radioplayer project, a collaboration of the BBC, Radio Centre, Global Radio and Guardian Media Group. It will group as many as 400 Ofcom-licensed national, local, community and student stations in the U.K. According to MediaBuyer, the new radio will include a “search engine…to allow users to search by program type – for news, sports, specific music genres or even individual songs.” The new software is due for release early next year. One reason – U.K. online radio revenue is expected to grow 12% this year, to $441 million, says SNL Kagan.
