Pandora Internet Radio Now Available on Google Chromecast

Updated Android and iOS apps now include Cast button for one-touch streaming of Pandora in New Zealand

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, December 10th – Pandora, the leading internet radio service, today announced it is now available locally in New Zealand on Chromecast, Google’s new TV-connected device that wirelessly delivers online audio and video entertainment to screens across the home.

“Our mission is to provide the best personalised radio experience to our listeners, anytime, anywhere. New Zealanders are listening to more than 12 hours of radio a week* and we are continually innovating and investing in new platforms that help us seamlessly deliver access to Pandora across a broad range of connected devices.” says Rick Gleave, director of business development, Pandora ANZ. “Pandora is playing in living rooms whilst listeners are carrying out a multitude of tasks simultaneously around the home. Having Pandora now on Google Chromecast means users have another easy access point to a better listening experience direct from their TV.”

Pandora is available on Chromecast through an update to its Android and iOS mobile apps, which will include a cast button for simple, one-touch streaming to the TV.

Chromecast taps into the same experience of using apps and browsing the web that users are familiar with on their smartphone, tablet, and laptop, so there’s nothing new to learn. Although the content is launched from a mobile device, it streams from the cloud, which allows users to multitask on their mobile device while simultaneously enjoying Pandora. Core Pandora functionality, such as Play, Pause, Thumb and Skip are all easily controlled for a seamless personalised radio experience.

Owners of a Chromecast device can start casting Pandora today by downloading the latest Android or iOS mobile app, available now via Google Play and the App Store. Chromecast support is currently available for all Android smartphones and tablets in addition to iPads and iPhones. Chromecast also supports YouTube, Google Play Movies and Google Play Music.
