Sonos launches Sonos Radio, an ad-supported streaming radio service

Sonos last week launched Sonos Radio, a free and ad-supported streaming radio service, in France, Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, and New Zealand. Sonos says the Sonos Radio includes over 60,000 radio stations from multiple streaming partners, and original Sonos programming.

“We are delighted to see Sonos Radio being rolled out in these six new countries. The monetisation of the Sonos radios by Targetspot will thus be significantly extended under our exclusive partnership. This new stage illustrates Targetspot’s unique international positioning and its technological edge with a solution that can absorb significant additional volumes without requiring major additional resources or investment.” said Alexandre Saboundjian, CEO of AudioValley.

Sonos Radio is monetised by Targetspot, and it is available already in France, Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, New Zealand, US, UK, Ireland, Canada, and Australia.

According to Sonos, the potential reach for Sonos Radio is 10 million households, and 29 million devices around the world.
