Radio Turks & Caicos will officially launch their blackberry App on November 1, 2013.
The App was developed with the approval of BlackBerry developer RIM on Monday October 28th, 2013 and brings RTC FM live on BlackBerry APP, making the station truly mobile as it offers News, Sports, Entertainment, Weather, classified adverts and an event calendar among other special features on the go.
Director of RTC Chris Jarrett said in a statement issued on Wednesday October 30: “the BBM app will be available for free download for all Blackberry smartphones and works nicely on the Curve, Bold & Z10 to name a few.
The APP will come on stream at 10:19pm in the TCI (10:19p.m. European Time) on November 1st. The team tied the APP’s on air debut with the numbers in the frequency 101.9fm.
To download the APP to your Blackberry phones, users will have to log onto www.rtc107fm.com and scan the RTC QR code to activate the app.
The RTC APP will also feature the stations twitter posts and facebook posts and will offer a special surprise for the party goers on thanksgiving day November 28th.
“With more than a billion BlackBerry smartphones in the market worldwide, this is first APP of its kind in the Turks & Caicos offered by a radio station. This is absolutely the right time to bring an APP to the market, as the man on the go wants to be connected to his radio at all times,” Jarrett said.
“More & More you are seeing the young and old sporting a BB phone in the TCI and while BB is facing challenges in the stock market, its a must have phone for the TCI,’ said RTC Team member and the station’s assistant director Lynette Thomas. She predicts that while phones come and go, Blackberry will be around for a long time and so will this app.
The BB APP is a part of RTC’s celebration of over 40 years of broadcasting, with still more to come.
