Internet Radio Listenership on the Rise

Categories: 80's Music, News

FCC says 55% of Americans listen to Internet-only radio. “In some ways, radio should have an easier time adapting to the Internet economy than TV. It is far cheaper and faster to transmit audio online or through a phone than video. In that sense, the question is not whether audio will be popular in the new media world. It already is.

Smartphone Apps are Now Available!!!

Categories: 80's Music, News

Hello fellow 80′s music lovers. Sorry this took so long to post, but better late than never. We are finally on two smartphone apps, TuneIn Radio, and Pocket Tunes. They cost only a few bucks, but you can listen to radio stations all over the world including internet radio stations. I use Pocket Tunes most of the time, mainly because it was the first app Cafe 80′s Radio was on.

If you decide you want Pocket Tunes, you will need to do a search for Cafe 80′s FM. Don’t ask me why Pocket Tunes did this, I don’t know, but it’s awesome!

TuneIn Radio is also a good app. They’re cheaper than Pocket Tunes and they’re limited to certain content. TuneIn uses Last.fm for album art which sucks because the art doesn’t match the real album the songs come off of. I’m a bit nit picky about things so it may not bother you.

Cafe 80′s Radio makes no money off of these apps. We are on these apps for the listeners so you can have more options when listening.

Well, we hope you’ll download one of these apps and listen to Cafe 80′s Radio on your smartphone whenever you are away from your computer. Whenever possible, if you love of station, please spread the word. The more listeners we get, the better it is for everyone. Also, if anyone has a question or comment, feel free to send us a message. Viva la 80′s.
