SCA have just launched the BETA version of the app to the market for both Android and iOS devices.

Right now it set to showcase SCA brands from both their terrestrial Triple M/Mix and hit Network stations and their Digital offerings like Buddha, MORE Digital, The Range, Stardust and more.

They have also opened it up to all the ABC radio brands including triple j and the Fairfax Radio Network. They say more are planned.

SCA are positioning RadioApp as a neutral application with other network stations and brands invited to join the platform.

The collective UK Radio Industry as a body launched their RadioPlayer app and online platform last year. It features over 400 stations including both commercial and all the BBC brands. More here on that.

We are building a neutral platform and welcome other stations and services to join us.”
