User-Controlled "Jelli" To Debut On Live 105
[]

June 17, 2009

User-controlled Web radio service Jelli will team with CBS Radio and 
Modern Rock mainstay KITS (Live 105)/San Francisco, to allow 
listeners to take over the radio station for two hours on Sunday 
nights. The Jelli service is described as "community-powered, 100% 
user-controlled radio" and lets its users choose in real time what is 
played on the air. The service allows real time voting and other 
interactive features to rate songs, with each song determined by 
users just before it airs. The Jelli community can even vote to pull 
a song off the air instantly.

Jelli debuted live today with an online streaming version. "Our 
vision is to bring the power of the web to the airwaves by creating 
100% user-controlled broadcasting," said Mike Dougherty, CEO and 
co-founder of Jelli. "Jelli empowers individuals and communities to 
control traditional broadcast programming in a real-time, continuous 
manner using the web. We are excited to launch with an amazing 
station like Live 105, and in the Bay Area which is home for so much 
web innovation."
