Be Young is one of Radio Republik Indonesia’s most successful apps.

It is targeted at young listeners and plays unsigned artists and bands.

The app was one of several examples examined in a workshop at Radio Asia, teaching participants about the ways that apps can extend the reach of radio channels.

“One of the important things about this app is that it is well connected to social media, because that is where young listeners are,” said workshop presenter Andi Permadi.

“Singers can upload their own music to the channel, then listeners can enjoy the music, share it, and use it in playlists.

“We are very proud of being able to reach young listeners with this app.”

Another appshowcased by Andi, is RRI Online, the latest offering from RRI.

“You can watch what you are listening to with this app…

“We have a camera feed from the studio and when we cross live to reporters we do so with vision as well as audio.” See our previous report and walk through of the studios RRI manages all the information systems and feeds via automation and workflow software, which can also insert advertisements.
