Context

Jow Radio wanted to strengthen its brand and its online presence, with a platform designed for millions of users. Jow+ brings live radio, podcasts, videos and news together, on the web and on mobile. The music offer also had to grow, with 11 new stations, one per genre, launched for World Music Day.

Approach

On jowplus.com, the live player stays at the bottom of every page while people read an article, listen to a podcast or watch a video. The iOS and Android apps carry the live stream, podcasts and videos, with personalised content and automatic updates. We created 11 of the 16 stations on a short timeline: Electro, Summer, Rock, Disco Maghreb, Jazz, Oriental, Chaabi, Africa, Latino, Kids and K-pop. Their music and jingles are scheduled automatically, and a backup server with an alert system keeps them on air.

What we built

  • Web platform at jowplus.com: news by section, podcasts, videos, live player on every page
  • User registration and 16 stations to stream
  • iOS and Android apps: live radio, podcasts, videos, personalised content
  • Podcast player: play, skip forward and back, share and download
  • 11 genre-based stations, launched for World Music Day
  • Automatic scheduling of music and jingles
  • Backup server and alert system against broadcast outages

Stack

  • Bubble

Outcomes

  • More than 2 million sessions a month across all Jow platforms.
  • The new stations broadened Jow Radio’s audience.
