The island is now a mix of residential and commercial properties and makes a perfect setting for All In Media’s new base. Chris Gould, founder and CEO of All In Media, said of the move;

All In Media had outgrown its existing office and needed larger premises to cater for the growing needs of the company and our clients. Eel Pie Island is a fantastic location and it’s great to be working somewhere with such a rich and varied history.

Since its launch in 2007, the company has expanded into new markets and set up offices in the UK, Australia and Malaysia. Broadcasters around the world use All In Media’s software to manage data services across a range of platforms, and to deliver new forms of interactivity to their listeners. The company has quickly gained a reputation for providing innovative solutions to market leading radio clients worldwide.

The new company will cover the entire Southeast Asia region, where it will supply its award winning range of mobile phone apps to broadcasters, and also bring support to the burgeoning DAB digital radio market. All In Media Chief Executive, Chris Gould, made the announcement earlier today at WorldDMB’s digital radio session at the ABU Digital Broadcasting Symposium (6 -9 March 2012, Kuala Lumpur).

Based in Kuala Lumpur, All In Media Malaysia will provide a regional presence for broadcasters across the Southeast Asia region. It will enable broadcasters to provide new interactive services to listeners across mobile and digital radio platforms. All In Media has already secured a number of new clients for its apps and systems.

The Malaysian company will be run by Managing Director Steve Barnes. All In Media’s founder and Chief Executive, Chris Gould said “With 15 years’ experience developing services for telecoms, digital TV and radio, plus an intimate knowledge of the area, Steve is the ideal man for the job. We are looking forward to expanding All In Media and bringing our smart phone apps and DAB systems to the Southeast Asia region.”

The expansion of All In Media follows new contract wins for the company in Europe and Asia. Its Australian office continues to benefit from a successful DAB+ roll out which has drawn nearly 1 million listeners to the medium in just two years. And in Hong Kong, the company’s business continues to grow. Elsewhere in the region, countries such as New Zealand, South Korea, and Singapore have digital radio infrastructure in place and are at varying stages of development. The market is perfectly timed for the launch of All In Media Malaysia.

The updates have been developed to furthermore increase usability and positive in app experiences across the board, and were designed in-house and co-built by the Absolute Radio OGS Labs team and All In Media. The refreshed interfaces, eye catching new design and UI allows listeners to tune into their favourite shows directly in-app with improved quality thanks to the new ‘Intelligent Streaming’ function. This ensures CD quality audio through a wireless connection with strong stream quality preventing constant buffering when listening on the move.

To date, the Absolute Radio app network has recorded over 2.5m installs and 300,000 active users. The station recorded over a 500% increase in mobile revenue growth from 2010 and forecasts that this will double into next year.

“With our sixth generation mobile ‘listen apps’ for IOS we have focused on a refreshed user interface and experience. As we approach 300,000 monthly active users (MAU’S) from an install base of over 2.5m, mobile is increasingly a very big part of logged in and listening ‘In Stream’ strategy”. Said Absolute Radio COO Clive Dickens

A host of new features are available across the new app network including the revolutionary RadioSync Technology. This allows users to scroll seamlessly through their mobile radio experience from the moment they started streaming. Listeners can remind themselves of tracks that have been played, download or share the music, buy gig tickets through the Absolute Radio ticket store and more.

Each app includes instant access to Absolute Radio’s complete podcast archive. With over 20,000 free podcasts to choose from, users can save their favourites and be notified via Push Notifications when a new episode is available. Access to all of the top interviews with artists, celebrities and presenters are available in app, via the Absolute Radio YouTube channel.

The apps also allow listeners to interact directly with the Absolute Radio studio over the phone, using SMS, email and AudioBoo with increased social network sharing functions via Facebook and Twitter.

The nifty new BFBS Radio app is now in the iTunes app store and in the Android market place and ready to download free of charge.

The launch will be fully supported by promotions on BFBS TV, BFBS Radio and at www.BFBS.com/radio.

Built by All in Media, the new app features live streaming of most of the BFBS stations in the UK and worldwide and also includes BFBS Ghurkha Radio and BFBS Radio 2.  Features also include:

• Interaction with the shows via Facebook, Twitter or email directly from phone
• Programme schedule information in the local broadcast time zone
• Listen again to previous shows
• Latest news bulletins on demand
• Read the latest ‘Stop Press’ news stories on your handset
• Record audio messages from iPhones and send to the show (not available on Android phones)

In just four years, All In Media has grown to become the leading supplier of digital radio software and mobile phone apps to the European and Australian radio industries. It’s Rapid and Guide products, are already widely deployed across the world, on DAB, FM and digital TV platforms.

All In Media’s Managing Director, Chris Gould says: “We are delighted to have won this contract after a competitive tender process. Our visual radio tools are already helping broadcasters around the world to deliver an enhanced radio experience to their listeners, and I’m pleased we’ll be working with the BBC.”

With Germany now launching national digital radio services for the first time, Europe is undergoing a digital radio revival. AIM’s software allows broadcaster to quickly and cost-effectively deliver visual radio services across a range of platforms, including DAB/DAB+, FM, DTV, online and smartphone apps. Its AIM Rapid and Guide products are the most widely deployed DAB data management software products in the world.

AIM’s winning client was Communicorp’s Today FM, a national station with nearly one million listeners a week. Marketing Manager, Sara Falconer, says:

As Irelands leading commercial radio station, it’s important for us to provide content to our listeners through all the latest channels. With this in mid, we are delighted with the job that All In Media has done for us on our Android app, and are proud to accept this prestigious award.

All In Media’s Managing Director, Chris Gould adds:

The team at All In Media has done a great job for Today FM and this award is a reflection of that work. I am very proud of their achievement. It is a pleasure working with a forwarding thinking group such as Today FM and Communicorp.

All In Media has developed a market-leading range of more than 40 apps for radio broadcasters across Europe. Its most recent launch, also for Today FM, is Ireland’s first iPad app for radio which was introduced this week.

RadioPlayer is a UK-wide initiative that will provide a common pop-up online audio player for commercial, BBC and community radio stations.

The tools announced today, will enable stations to provide live now playing information, programme schedule details as well associated metadata to ensure that their stations can compete with larger radio groups on an even basis.

The offer is open to any stations that can be included in the Radio Player.

Folder Media’s Matt Deegan says

AIM and Folder’s tools already allow our clients to keep DAB, Digital TV, Online and Mobile systems up to date, it made sense to widen this to cover the new Radio Player.”

Aim and Folder are both advocates of the RadioPlayer and already work on a variety of other projects together.

Matt continues;

The RadioPlayer allows all UK stations to compete on a level playing field for the first time, we’re making a suite of tools available so that smaller stations can compete with the big boys and provide a compelling service that helps them win more audience or make more money.

Chris adds;

Many stations have been talking to us about finding a cost-effective way to get involved in RadioPlayer – we thought ‘free’ was a pretty good place to start. With the RadioPlayer launching soon, we’re keen to hear from any station – BBC, commercial or community that wants to take part.

The web-based tools easily allow stations to keep an online schedule up-to-date as well as hook up the now playing information from their playout systems.

Through using the system the stations also have the opportunity to add on-demand and listen-again functionality as well as making money in their player windows from music purchasing and advertising.

DAB EPG allows listeners to view weekly programmes on suitably enabled DAB radios, letting them browse, select and bookmark future listening appointments. AIM’s EPG software means radio stations can quickly and easily deliver their programme schedules to a range of platforms, including online, mobile and DAB platforms.

All In Media’s managing director, Chris Gould says:

In the past, EPG has been available for a small number of stations on an ad hoc basis. This investment in services and content by Arqiva greatly expands the stations offering an electronic programme guide to listeners. It’s good news for the industry and good news for consumers.

All In Media already supplies its EPG software to other countries broadcasting DAB and DAB+ radio, including Ireland and Australia. The deal with Arqiva makes AIM the world’s biggest supplier of DAB EPG systems to digital radio broadcasters and cements its reputation as the international experts in broadcast software across a range of digital platforms.

NME Radio, the UK’s national commercial new music station, has re-launched on digital TV, online and on DAB digital radio. NME Radio’s new iPhone app will connect listeners even more closely with the station. Tuning in to NME Radio via iPhone means listeners can now rate tracks, access Twitter feeds, use social networking sites, purchase tracks and interact directly with the station.
Jason Bryant, executive chairman of Town and Country Broadcasting, says:

We have worked closely with AIM to develop applications that reflect the characteristics of NME Radio. AIM has demonstrated how mobile applications are becoming essential tools for broadcasters wanting to build closer relationships with listeners and explore new revenue streams.

All In Media’s managing director, Chris Gould says:

For broadcasters, mobile applications can open up a whole new way of connecting with listeners, building station loyalty and extending the brand. We’re delighted that Town and Country Broadcasting has chosen AIM to bring NME Radio to iPhone users. We’ve worked on similar projects with GMG and Absolute and take pride in making sure each application is customised for each station.

The launch follows the recent release of an NME news, pictures and video app. Both applications are available now in the UK App Store.

AIM is also rolling out iPhone applications for Town and Country’s leading regional station, Nation Radio, and all six of its local stations in Wales.

The apps can be downloaded from here: NME Radio, Nation Radio (UK App Store only)

The application, a veritable one stop shop for all things RTÉ Radio, not only provides access to the 4 national services, RTÉ Radio 1, 2fm, lyric fm and Raidió Na Gaeltachta, but also the niche output of all 7 digital radio stations. Along with its audio functions the new application allows the listener greater interaction with each station by one touch access to a variety of RTÉ’s social media including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube channels.

Says JP Coakley, Director of Operations, RTÉ Radio:

We are delighted with this early vote of confidence by users in the Pocket Player. The design, function and utility of the app are an appropriate vehicle for the wonderful range and quality of content from RTÉ Radio. We are also very pleased to be able to present all 11 RTE Radio services in one application and to highlight our suite of 7 Digital radio services alongside their mainstream counterparts. The iPhone application environment remains a great place for us to imagine how radio will evolve in the future, our next challenge is to replicate this with other smart devices. We are particularly excited by what might be possible for phones with FM capability where free transmission can meet rich data via the phone network.
