Slacker Unveils Redsign

Slacker has launched a complete redesign that it says "pushes compelling artists, personalities and musicians to the forefront" and "opens its platform to creators, transforming the streaming music experience into a primary form of personal expression." Slacker plans to expand its new platform to include more voices to curate and host more stations. And the Slacker CEO says his company is picking up where radio has dropped the ball. 

CEO Duncan Orrell-Jones says, “From the start, Slacker has been about the power of great radio, blending the best of human-curated programming with trusted voices and the ability to personalize your experience. Radio has always been important to audiences, but its personality got lost to corporate consolidation and an inability to keep up with the technology that listeners demand. Slacker is radio for the post social media & time-shifting entertainment era. Our next natural evolution is to broaden and dial up the authentic human touch by inviting more and more relevant, creative and celebrated voices to Slacker. We are bringing the next wave of talent to audiences through a truly interactive streaming platform.”
