SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fusa Capital Corporation (OTCBB:FSAC - News), developer of the industry's most powerful and comprehensive consumer search and navigation services, today announced the launch of www.iheard.com, a free Internet radio search engine that allows consumers to easily access thousands of Internet radio stations from around the world. iheard is the latest addition to Fusa's impressive network of search engine websites, which include video (www.searchforvideo.com), news (www.newstowatch.com) and podcast (www.podanza.com) search services.
Internet radio includes both the simulcast of terrestrial audio broadcasts online and Internet-only audio streaming. To date, it has been a challenge for consumers to easily find, save and listen to Internet radio stations from around the world. iheard intends to simplify the discovery of Internet radio stations by providing an intuitive search service with tens of thousands of free Internet radio stations.
In a recent study by Arbitron and Edison Media Research, "The Infinite Dial 2007: Radio's Digital Platforms," it is estimated that the audience for Internet radio in the United States alone is close to 50 million a month. In any given week, one in six 18- to 34-year-olds listen to Internet radio -- a highly desirable demographic for advertisers.
"To date we have had great success applying our proprietary search technology to the video space with searchforvideo and newstowatch. Now, with the launch of iheard, and recently podanza, we are expanding our consumer search network to audio content, proving how easily extendable our search technology really is," said Jenifer Osterwalder, CEO of Fusa Capital.
The iheard site, part of the Fusa Consumer Search Network, is based on the same underlying proprietary search engine technology that is used to operate Fusa's other popular search services, searchforvideo, newstowatch and podanza. iheard aggregates Internet radio stations from tens of thousands of worldwide providers, organizes them by genre, country and language, and provides highly relevant keyword search techniques. With iheard, consumers can discover and consume tens of thousands of Internet radio stations from a single website, for free. In addition, various simple and cost-effective advertising options will be available to Internet radio providers interested in promoting themselves to avid Internet radio listeners.
