Select Live365 stations can now join the TuneIn On Air ecosystem with a single click, instantly boosting visibility and discoverability. This partnership is a key part of our mission to provide the most exclusive distribution opportunities for our broadcasting community.


By leveraging this integration, Live365 broadcasters can reach TuneIn’s 30 million US-based listeners across the TuneIn app and over 200+ connected devices, including:

  • Auto Partners: Tesla, Volvo, and more.
  • Smart Home: Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Sonos.
  • Devices: Samsung Smart TVs, tablets, and mobile devices.

Listeners can visit TuneIn's Download Page to install the app and start streaming your station anywhere.

Eligibility & Setup

To access TuneIn On Air distribution, you must meet one of the following criteria:

  1. Package Level: Be subscribed to a Broadcast 4 or Broadcast 5 package.
  2. Add-on: Purchase the TuneIn On Air add-on for your current package for a small monthly fee.

How it works:
Once your package includes this feature, the listing process begins automatically.

  • Mobile & Web: Your station will typically appear in the TuneIn directory within 48 hours.
  • Smart Speakers: Listing for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant can take up to 2 weeks to fully propagate.

Geographic Distribution

  • Standard: Stations are distributed on TuneIn across the United States and Canada.
  • United Kingdom: Broadcasters who have purchased the UK Licensing add-on are also eligible for distribution within the United Kingdom.


Note: Direct metadata transmission to TuneIn is not currently supported. Due to some technical difficulties, we had to delay the TuneIn AIR API release for the Live365 Dashboard. This will allow displaying metadata in real time on your TuneIn station profile. For the avoidance of doubt, all listening sessions resulting from TuneIn via Live365 servers are still tracked for music royalty payments and are included in your overall listening.


FAQ

  • If we add our station to Tune In On Air, will you still cover the licensing?

Yes, Live365 will continue taking care of your station's music license and royalty reporting, including the listeners from the TuneIn platform.


  • If someone hears an ad on one of the platforms that TuneIn supports, do those ad impressions count toward my revenue sharing?

Yes, any content that is aired through your Live365 station is also heard on TuneIn. The ad impressions are counted as usual.


  • How can I update my station listing on TuneIn if I am subscribed to the Live365 TuneIn On Air add-on?

It's as simple as updating the information in your Station Profile within the Dashboard. Once you make the changes, the updated information will be automatically transmitted to TuneIn within a span of 24 hours.


  • How can I update my station listing on TuneIn if I registered on my own?

You can change your station's details on TuneIn by contacting TuneIn support through this form.


  • Why can't I locate my station on TuneIn after reactivating my subscription following a lapse or cancellation?

         When your subscription lapses or is canceled, a manual reactivation is necessary on TuneIn's end as well. Feel free to reach out to our Support Team by creating a new ticket and we will gladly get this addressed for you.

  • Why am I having issues playing my station through voice assistants or Alexa?
        Voice commands work based on the spelling of your station name. Station names work best when using the correct spelling and spacing of each word. Alternative spellings and run-on words may not launch the correct station. Additionally, the user is required to say "on TuneIn" when attempting to launch the Alexa Skill.

    Ex. "Alexa, play (station name here) on TuneIn"

    Ex. "Google, play (station name here) on TuneIn"
