RadioTime (www.RadioTime.com) has a new service that it hopes will change how people listen to radio. With it, listeners can quickly locate radio programming through a comprehensive guide to 50,000 shows airing on 36,000 radio stations around the world. Once located, users can listen to their favorite programs live, or tag them for recording. They can then listen to their recorded programs on any consumer device — such as an Apple iPod — at a time and place of their choosing.
RadioTime provides three simple plans for consumers. The Basic plan is free and with this limited Radio Time guide users can listen live to 50 different radio programs. The Personalized plan is free with registration and enables the full interactive Radio Time guide allowing users to listen live to thousands of radio programs. The Portable plan is $39 per year and comes with the full interactive RadioTime guide. With this plan users can listen live to any radio programs and also record any radio program for later listening.
