º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ's student radio station KXUL now available through mobile app
The latest content update for the official º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ mobile app, º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ Mobile, now lets users listen live to º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ's student-driven radio station, KXUL.
Users running the latest version of º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ Mobile on their iPhone or Android device need only press the "91X-KXUL" icon to begin streaming their favorite music from anywhere, right from their phones.
Alexsander Tewelde, who graduated from º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµâ€™s College of Pharmacy in May 2011, said, "I love listening to KXUL, and it's cool that now I can listen from anywhere in the world through the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ app. I can take a piece of º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ with me wherever I go."
KXUL has been º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ's student radio station for over a quarter century, and while online streaming has been available for years, this marks the first time KXUL's live stream has been made available through º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ Mobile.
º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ Director of University Broadcasting, Joel Willer, said, "At KXUL, we believe in the importance of being on as many technology platforms as possible. Mobile access to the station's stream through the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ app is a logical extension of KXUL's existing offerings."
º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµâ€™s technology staff developed the free app in response to a recent survey showing 78 percent of º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ students use a smart phone device.
The app allows students to do everything they can do from a desktop computer—review class schedules, check email, access athletics and campus news, vote in campus elections, and even learn about scholarship opportunities.
The app creators—Rob Glaze, Richard Peacock, and Paul Gullette—are all º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ alums.
º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ President Nick Bruno said, “º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓÆµ is fortunate to have the level of in-house expertise to develop technology customized for the university’s needs.â€
The app is free to download from the iPhone and Android app stores, as well as available through a web-based version for most other modern smartphones.
