Hamburg, 11 July 2019 – radio.net is the radio partner for Samsung Bixby in Germany and Italy. Samsung’s smart voice assistant is installed on current Samsung smartphones and enables a wide range of functions via voice control.

The large selection of radio.net gives users easy access to more than 30,000 stations and web radios from all over the world. With Bixby, users can start their favorite stations directly, or ask for stations from their city or for a music genre. Bixby then delivers the matching stations from the radio.net database.

Bixby Routines can be used to create handy shortcuts that start the right phone settings and favorite stations for every situation with one simple command. That way, the day starts right away with the right radio program from the region, and at the gym a single word is enough for a web radio with high-energy music on the wireless headphones.

The range of the radio.net database extends from the well-known FM stations to local and news radio stations to specialized music programs covering every music genre.

Bernhard Bahners, Managing Director of radio.net: “In the future, voice assistants and developments in the smart home sector will be among the most important fields for the further spread of radio. Voice control simply feels perfect, especially for this medium, in which the voice plays such a decisive role. The range of products with which Samsung is represented in these areas of the market is what makes this partnership so valuable for both sides.”

Dr. Thorsten Böker, Director Product Management at Samsung Electronics GmbH:

“Bixby has officially worked in German since 20 February 2019, and the number of compatible products has been rising continuously ever since. radio.net is an important partner for our growth strategy in Germany – listening to radio and intelligent voice control, to me the two belong together.”
