TuneIn
TuneIn is a global audio streaming service providing news, radio, sports, music, and podcasts to over 75 million monthly active users.
TuneIn is operated by the privately held company TuneIn Inc. based in San Francisco, California. The company was founded by Bill Moore on January 1, 2002 as RadioTime in Dallas, Texas. Users can listen through the TuneIn website using a mobile app, smart speaker, or any other supported device. As of 2016[update], TuneIn became available on more than 55 vehicle models. In 2013, the company raised more than USD 47 million in venture funding from Institutional Venture Partners, Sequoia Capital, GV, General Catalyst Partners, and Icon Ventures.
In November 2020, TuneIn appointed Richard Stern as chief executive officer and Rob Deichert as chief revenue officer, with a new investment led by Innovation Endeavors.
In August 2015, TuneIn launched a premium service called "TuneIn Premium" that covers audiobooks, sports content from MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA, news content from MSNBC, Al Jazeera, and more. Initially, subscribers were able to record any content played through the TuneIn service, but the feature was first discontinued in the UK in early 2017, with a global discontinuation following on September 14, 2020, citing legal issues. However, the feature remains accessible through older versions of the TuneIn Pro app.
In 2017, the company raised $50 million and was valued at $500 million.
In March 2018, TuneIn launched another premium live audio subscription called "TuneIn Live," which offers play-by-play calls from thousands of live sporting events, plus access to premium news stations, talk shows, and other content. The company launched the subscription-based radio service exclusively for Alexa-enabled speakers, allowing subscribers to prompt Alexa to stream news programs as well as play-by-play broadcasts of MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL games. TuneIn Live marked the first time TuneIn premium content was available over a voice platform. In October 2018, the company launched a commercial-free news offering through TuneIn Premium, which included news programs from CNBC, Fox News Talk, and MSNBC, as well as news podcasts from Progressive Voices, The Economist, and The Wall Street Journal.
From 2019, the TuneIn website and apps allowed users to listen to more than 100,000 global radio stations including AM, FM, HD, LP, digital, and internet stations, and podcasts. TuneIn's directory lists various sports, news, talk, and music broadcasts from around the world.
