TuneIn says it has 75 million monthly active users and carries content of approximately 100,000 radio stations.
It cited a study that indicates that radio reaches 84% of European citizens weekly.
CEO Richard Stern said TuneIn’s partnerships with Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, Sonos, Bose and Tesla will boost the company’s advertising revenue potential.
