“This is the missing personality from my radio station – I love that we’re going to build artist-themed weekends and be able to re-use them as needed. This will take my station to the next level; it’s what was missing. Nice touch.”

“Tether helped us create a whole new dynamic for our group of stations. It gives listeners not only a reason to tune in and listen, but to interact with both our on-air product and our mobile apps and websites. It is a ‘next step’ feature for radio that puts us way ahead of the curve.”

“Happy we have Tether. We have annual client dollars tied to song alerts. Additionally, we get a lot of action from our audience through Tether. It helps us generate thousands of MUVs, most recently over 30 thousand a month.”

“Hot Girl Summer Weekend sounded great! I had it on in the background all weekend ready for Echo to fail or something not to go right, not only did it work perfectly we sounded really good all weekend. In three days I only noticed 2 songs that stood out as being songs I wouldn’t have scheduled in those particular positions, that’s me listening as a programmer and looking for something to be off, a listener wouldn’t have thought anything of it. If that only happens twice in an entire weekend, I’m happy.”
