Shout To Me Platform Called 'Social Radio'

AdLarge Media has introduced Shout To Me, an audience engagement platform that supercharges traditional call-in lines and revolutionizes the way radio stations interact with their listeners. Shout To Me leverages sophisticated tools to intelligently process listener-recorded audio clips -- called shouts -- and make them available for radio stations to use on-air and online.

Listeners can record shouts using the station’s existing call-in line or smartphone application. Once recorded, the Shout To Me platform:

• Instantly converts the audio to text, saving producers and screeners from needing to listen to each one
• Intelligently categorizes and tags the shouts, so station staff can quickly find the best ones to use on-air
• Provides tools to share the shouts online, on the station’s website, or via social media feeds

Broadcasters can also record their own shouts and, using Shout to Me’s advanced geo-targeting capabilities, push them out to mobile users to:

• Enhance local advertising campaigns
• Warn drivers about problems on the roadways
• Connect with listeners at sporting events or concerts

“The more stations engage with their audience, the more they can increase the time that listeners spend and interact with the station, and that attracts sponsors and increases revenue,” said Jessica Sherman Senior Director, Affiliate Marketing for AdLarge Media. “Shout to Me connects radio stations directly to their audiences wherever they may be.”

“Anyone in radio programming knows listeners have always loved hearing their own voices on the air,” added John Coulter, Co-Founder of Shout To Me. "Our interactive audio platform enhances the listener experience and drives meaningful engagement with the listener’s favorite radio stations. Response during our rollout has been extremely encouraging and it became clear the next step was to partner with an industry-leading affiliate and ad sales organization. We feel very fortunate to be working with AdLarge Media, who shares our excitement and enthusiasm around the Shout to Me opportunity.”

“Shout To Me opens a whole new world of on-air and online sponsorship opportunities,” said Frank DeSantis, Vice President, Business Development for AdLarge Media. “It will definitely make an impact on radio station advertising as we roll it out nationally.”
