Open Broadcast
Swiss music streaming app
Open Broadcast is an independent radio station and the first in Switzerland to be 100% user-generated. The online community around Open Broadcast is responsible for editing and radio content. Open Broadcast is also intended as a platform for discussion of the latest goings-on in the world of music.
David vs. Goliath
It is a major challenge for any music player to exist alongside giants of the music streaming world such as Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal. Open Broadcast has embraced this challenge with open arms. Its ambitious new app is pressing ahead into a legal gray area, not least with regard to the possible setting of a new national precedent.
For at home or on-the-go
Open Broadcast has been available on the web and via DAB+ since 2006. Thanks to the rise of the big streaming players, music consumption habits have shifted radically since then. The smartphone is now the dominant medium. Open Broadcast originally sought to satisfy this need with a purely web-based app, but encountered a problem: playback in Safari on iOS did not work as desired. After a certain time, playback stopped when Safari was running in the background.
