Rhythm Lab radio powers up with Super Hi-Fi for next generation station experience

MILWAUKEE & LOS ANGELES -– August 11, 2022 – Rhythm Lab Radio, the weekly show hosted by Tarik Moody from 88Nine Radio Milwaukee that redefines the urban sound, has partnered with Super Hi-Fi, the global leader in AI services for the music industry, to produce an entirely new online version of the award-winning on-air broadcast. The new station, found at hyfin.org/rhythmlab/, will be an extension of the existing weekly broadcast, with similar music selections, hosting, and production, but will deliver a 24/7 experience for public radio listeners to enjoy the full features of Rhythm Lab Radio at any time of day.

“Radio Milwaukee and Rhythm Lab Radio have experienced success in our industry by embracing new technology and change,” said Tarik Moody, Host of Rhythm Lab Radio. “This partnership with Super Hi-Fi is an essential experiment, not just for Rhythm Lab but for public radio as a whole. The new station is a case study in what’s possible when you pair public radio’s expert curation abilities with the power of AI technology. Our strong belief is that this is going to change the game of radio.”

“Enabling radio stations with our AI-powered scheduling and automation tools provides a whole new kind of scale and efficiency, but most importantly allows music programmers to focus on what they do best: delivering incredible entertainment to their listeners,” said Zack Zalon, Chief Executive Officer of Super Hi-Fi. “In this case, we have an opportunity to demonstrate how public radio stations can extend their existing programming into the online sphere in a completely new way, to build deeper relationships with listeners… whenever and wherever they consume their music.”
