WLNX-FM 88.9, the
student-operated radio station at Lincoln College, has become only
the 23rd college radio station in the United States to be accepted
into the iHeartRadio digital streaming platform.
|
Owned by Clear Channel Broadcasting, iHeartRadio functions as both a
music recommender system and a radio network that aggregates content
from over 1,000 local radio stations across the United States. With
the iHeartRadio affiliation, WLNX -- "89X, Lincoln's New Alternative
Rock" -- can now be accessed via a free streaming radio application
on Apple iPhones, Androids and BlackBerry devices, as well as the
iPad, Xbox 360 console, Sonos and the Roku digital media receiver.
"The iHeartRadio platform represents the new beachfront property in
the digital stratosphere," said John Malone, Lincoln College
associate professor and WLNX general manager. "We are thrilled to be
among the elite group of college radio stations invited to
participate."

Malone said iHeartRadio provides a worldwide mobile platform for
radio stations like WLNX. While not replacing traditional FM
transmission, the platform will continue to become more important as
a way to reach a new generation that has grown attached to hand-held
mobile devices, similar to the way listeners once used Sony Walkman
radios.
