The university’s student-run radio station, UTA Radio, is now available on WunderRadio, an application available for Apple’s iPhone and Touch and other smart phone devices that use Windows Mobile 6.0 or higher. WunderRadio’s application is available for a one-time fee of $5.95 and provides users with access to more than 36,000 Internet radio stations. Brenda Jaskulske, communication visiting assistant professor, said she isn’t sure how WunderRadio picked up UTA Radio, which is available online, but says it helps boost listenership. “This is transforming what we think of radio today,” she said. “It’s taking away from the terrestrial way radio can be. It’s not just the airwaves now, you can listen to it anywhere.” Jaskulske said UTA Radio is always looking for ways to utilize new media to distribute its programs. Station manager Tonesha Winters said the staff stumbled across UTA Radio when looking at radio stations listed by region. She added it’s a great opportunity for anyone to hear UTA Radio outside the Internet, making it portable and accessible. “It connects so many radio stations,” she said. “And makes us accessible for people who want to hear what’s going on at UTA.” Views: 677 | E-mail
