• Simple operation and a worldwide selection of stations bring real variety to smart TV platforms.
• More than 100 Christmas stations from all over the world

Hamburg, 21 December 2017. At Christmas, the TV schedule offers not only great film classics but also, with the radio.de apps for smart TV platforms, a huge selection of radio stations from all over the world. The free apps for Apple’s tvOS, the Amazon Fire TV platform and Android TV bring the whole world of radio into every living room.

In addition to station search via voice control and personal recommendations based on listening history, the free tvOS app also offers editorial recommendations from radio.de. The app can optionally display local stations from the surrounding area, using the Apple TV’s precise location detection to do so. The most recently played stations are displayed in the so-called Top Shelf on the Apple TV home screen, so that users can always reach their favorite stations as quickly as possible. A song and artist search shows all stations that are currently playing a searched-for title or artist. This station list is continuously updated in the background. The app is available free of charge in the tvOS App Store.

Owners of an Amazon Fire TV, an Amazon Fire TV Stick or an Android TV can also get a dedicated radio.de app. The app brings the radio.de selection of stations to all compatible devices and turns the TV into a world receiver. In addition to the web streams of local stations, the clearly structured app offers a well-organized selection of pure music stations and special-interest programs.

The radio.de service can also be used free of charge with all iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, directly in the browser and with Amazon Alexa. With radio.de PRIME, a premium version is also available for iOS and Android.
