Announcing RadioTuna.com - a New Internet Radio 'Discovery Engine'

BRIGHTON, England, December 15 - A tiny UK start-up may just have stolen a march on the online music
industry by launching the first real-time search engine for internet radio.
RadioTuna.com is a new website that tracks 20,000 stations around the world
in real-time and uses complex algorithms to make finding them easy.

Real-time search is the latest development in internet technology, with
Twitter leading the revolution and Google introducing real-time results very
recently. RadioTuna is the world's first real-time search engine for radio,
giving up-to-the-minute results about the music being played across the
globe.

The data collected illustrates the incredible range of music available
through internet radio to an extent not possible before, providing a
game-changing level of search fidelity. Stations can be found either by
artist or genre, and a unique profiling process shows the breakdown of music
played on each. Exploring the Long Tail of radio has never been so much fun.

About RadioTuna

RadioTuna.com was created by three music fans who loved internet radio
but were frustrated by the search for new stations. Co-founder William
Jenkins
said, "We built RadioTuna because we were fed up with other radio
search engines. The site is kind of a cross between Spotify and Google, and
it's been likened to both."

Beneath the cute branding and simple interface sits serious technology
that captures and processes data about the music as it is played. It's a
place for fans of every genre to find out what's going on right now, with
relevant results for every artist in their 10 million-track database. No
accounts, profiles or subscriptions required - just search for an artist or
genre and click on a search result to start the music.

About Online Radio

Online Radio has a vast global audience attracting tens of millions of
listeners around the world. It is unique in its ability to serve niche
audiences with highly specialised content, and the diversity of music on
offer is unmatched by any other service.

Although there are large stations with thousands of listeners, there are
many more tiny ones broadcasting to only a handful of people at once. These
small stations often cost more to run than they ever make and are run purely
for the love of the music.
