Spins.FM (NYC) Launches Social Radio Requests App for FM Radio
Spins.FM, an NYC-based web and mobile service that enables fans to request their favorite songs on local FM radio via Twitter and Facebook, has launched its Social Radio Requests App for radio stations.
Based out of NYC, Spins.FM allows radio stations to more effectively leverage their social graph.
The app is intended to increase the ease with which radio stations and listeners can connect on Facebook, while giving radio stations a quick and complete view of what their listeners want to hear and where they are dialing in from.
Spins.FM founder David Baker explains: “The listener request line has always been the primary channel for radio stations to connect with listeners. Our Social Radio Requests App gives it an update, enabling Twitter and Facebook conversations to take to the airwaves – and radio station program directors and DJs to improve their presence on social media while tracking what their audiences want with more precision than before.”
With Spins.FM, radio stations can sign up at spins.fm/radio where they have the option to add the app to their Facebook page, enabling fans to easily request songs via both Facebook and Twitter.
The app also automatically adds a request tab to the radio station’s Facebook page, displaying the most-requested songs as well as distinguishing local requests from global requests. In this way, stations are able to focus on their core local listeners even as they get requests from all over the world.
The announcement of Spins.FM’s app for radio stations comes on the heels of a number of new Social Request campaigns for top artists including Chris Brown (“She Ain’t You”), Diddy Dirty Money (“Your Love”), and Soulja Boy (“Zan with that Lean”).
