Press Release Body: WOR/New York switches to Jetcast streaming & ad insertion
Buckley flagship/WOR Radio Network hub embraces more new technology
(New York - Thursday, June 26, 2008) - Jetcast radio/TV streaming announces an
agreement with WOR New York and has already begun providing the station with
upgraded online internet audio streaming capabilities via patented Jetcast
technology on the Buckley Broadcasting flagship station.
One of America's first commercial radio stations, WOR began broadcasting in 1922 and
is now streaming a roster of legendary talent including John Gambling in mornings,
Steve Malzberg in afternoons, also Dr. Joy Browne, Joan Hamburg, Ken and Daria
Dolan, and Joey Reynolds.
WOR typically leads the radio industry from a technical perspective. In 2002, WOR
became the first AM radio station in New York to begin broadcasting all programs
digitally using the new HD Radio technology from iBiquity Digital. In 2006, WOR
built an entirely new all-digital transmitter facility from the ground up and
launched it while almost simultaneously building and re-locating to a new data-based
studio facility in lower Manhattan.
"We're happy to be utilizing both streaming and spot replacement services through
Jetcast," comments Tom Ray, VP and corporate director of engineering for Buckley
Broadcasting. He continued, "Jetcast offers us a simple, yet elegant solution to a
very trying problem."
"I've worked with hundreds of stations in my radio career, and WOR ranks among the
top broadcast groups in terms of integrity, professionalism and technical
excellence", added Jetcast senior marketing executive Tom Zarecki. "It's an honor to
provide the online backbone for WOR on an ongoing basis."
In addition to streaming, Jetcast provides WOR with online spot sales from
ReplaceAds, as well as newly-enhanced ad insertion technology from Spacial Audio.
WOR is also the hub station responsible for creating and syndicating programming
content carried by hundreds of WOR Radio Network affiliate stations nationwide.
