Stingray Digital has built its business on the cluster of Galaxie music stations found in the upper reaches of the cable dial. But now the Montreal-based company wants to bring its commercial-free channels out of the stratosphere, and in to the palm of your hand.
On Tuesday, Stingray will launch a subscription-based streaming music service for mobile phones. Customers will access its 45 audio-only TV channels through an app on the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and all Android-based mobile devices. Users can also skip songs and download tracks they like through Apple Inc.’s iTunes store.
