Radio.com

Radio.com operates as a music discovery platform branded "Crown by Radio.com," distinct from its earlier incarnation as a streaming service for radio stations, sports content, and podcasts. The current site centers on a gamified listening experience in which users hear short clips from emerging artists and "claim" tracks they believe will break out. Claims are timestamped, and a user's score rises if other listeners later claim the same track, creating a competitive system for identifying new music early.

The platform organizes competition around weekly genre leaderboards, with top-scoring users ("tastemakers") crowned in categories such as Indie/Alternative, Hip-Hop/R&B, Electronic/Dance, Global/Afrobeats, and Singer-Songwriter/Folk. It deliberately omits social features common to other platforms, such as likes, comments, follower counts, and play counts, focusing instead on claim timing and peer validation as the only measures of standing.

Historically, Radio.com also operated as a digital radio and podcast platform under Entercom (now Audacy), streaming hundreds of radio stations and thousands of podcasts, and later launching the RADIO.COM Sports Digital Network featuring live daily sports shows and podcasts. The service serves music listeners interested in early discovery and sports fans seeking original audio and video sports content, though the current website emphasizes the music discovery product.
