Our eight years experience serving the radio industry with end to end solutions really came through in working with NextMedia Radio and winning their business

We're excited that they chose us, and we'll continue to try to move the online radio business forward with branding, business model, and delivery innovations.

"I have found that Abacast has gone above and beyond to earn our business," said Brian Foster, VP of NTR for Next Media. "Our customized player started out as a simple sketch on an Excel spreadsheet.
