Triple M listeners can also get the Triple M digital stations; Triple M Classic Rock, Triple M Greatest Hits, Triple M Modern and Triple M Country.
This announcement follows on from SCA’s recent announcements that Hit Network and Triple M news and sports briefings are available on the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa suite of connected speaker products.
SCA’s Chief Creative Office, Guy Dobson said “We’re delighted to bring our radio content directly to the Sonos platform. As a leader in the smart speaker market, they are a natural fit as SCA looks to make our content available on all platforms and products that our listeners want to use to listen to the radio”.
Sonos’s Country Director of Australia, Rennie Addabo said “At Sonos we are all about turning silent homes into soulful ones so we’re thrilled this partnership gives Australian Sonos owners the choice to listen to their favourite radio stations out loud, in any room in their house, through their Sonos system. Radio lovers can now use their Sonos Controller (their Sonos app) to switch over to any SCA radio station they want to listen to – so, country in the bedroom or classic rock in the kitchen – it’s now all at their fingertips, adding even more variety to Sonos’ wide range of streaming services.”
