The all-news stations to be streamed include 1010 WINS (New York), KFWB-AM (Los Angeles), KNX-AM (Los Angeles), WBBM-AM (Chicago), KCBS-AM (San Francisco) KYW-AM (Philadelphia), WBZ-AM (Boston), and WWJ-AM (Detroit). Legendary news-talk stations KMOX-AM (St. Louis), KDKA-AM (Pittsburgh) and KRLD-AM (Dallas) will also be available via their station websites. Infinity's other all-news station, WCBS-AM, was previously launched online last December.
"The millions of people who tune in to our radio stations are increasingly looking for alternative ways to receive the information vital to their everyday lives," said Hollander. "And as more and more listening is being done away from home and the car, we must extend our stations beyond their dial positions to meet the needs of the consumer."
Infinity says their all-news stations are among the most listened to stations in their respective markets and reach an estimated 12 million listeners per week. 1010 WINS is the most listened to news station across the country. In addition, 1.5 million people tune into KMOX, KDKA and KRLD.
Announcements on other formats to be streamed by Infinity will be made at a later date.
Infinity operates 183 radio stations, the majority of which are in the nation's top 50 markets.
