History and Timeline

In 2006, former CBS Radio executives created Retail Radio. The reason for entering the crowded market was because they found that the market was missing a true, completely personalized product that is designed to the client’s specifications. They provide a proprietary web tool interface for content transparency and control over licensed music, messaging and video materials. The content is managed and delivered using a secure non-streaming (store it forward), and proven Ethernet or 3G/4G delivery platform.
