Companies plan unified music-focused streaming service and advertising network spanning nearly 100 existing channels
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, UNITED STATES, November 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Thasis LLC and WebNetRadio announced today that they are joining forces to establish Jukebox Broadcasting LLC, a new internet radio company operating as Jukebox.media. The companies will combine their existing streaming channels, technology and commercial operations into a single, genre-based service, replacing the stations’ separate consumer-facing identities with the Radio Jukebox brand.
Together, the companies currently operate nearly 100 internet radio channels covering smooth jazz, oldies, classic rock, easy listening, country and other music formats. According to company-reported figures, the operations generate more than 15 million streaming session and well over 1m total listening hours annually.
The companies plan to introduce the new jukebox listening experience in early 2027. The service will organize live channels by music genre, with planned categories such as Jazz Jukebox, Oldies Jukebox, Classic Rock Jukebox, Country Jukebox, Easy Listening Jukebox, and more. Rather than select an individual radio station, visitors will be able to see which songs are currently playing across available streams and tune into the channel carrying a song they want to hear. The offering is planned as live, programmed radio, not on-demand song playback and will be working with other streaming stations around the United States to grow the jukebox.
“We see a chance to rethink internet radio around what listeners are looking for: music,” said David Moss, founder and CEO of Thasis. “We are bringing the stations together under one identity to make the music easier to discover and creating an advertising operation that can serve audiences across formats rather than sell each channel separately.”
WebNetRadio was founded by Doug Sinclair and is known for its smooth jazz programming, including Smooth Jazz Florida, which began broadcasting in 2013. Its website describes a network of more than 50 smooth jazz stations. Thasis, which has been operating since 2022, operates music-format channels and syndicated programming through the Thasis Radio Network. Last week, Thasis separately announced RadioForge, a portfolio of software and services for independent broadcasters.
“Internet radio has grown tremendously, but the industry remains fragmented,” said Doug Sinclair, Managing Partner of Jukebox Broadcasting. “By bringing our networks together, we’re creating something much bigger than a collection of radio stations. Jukebox.media represents a new way for listeners to discover the music they love and a more powerful way for advertisers to reach those audiences. We’re combining great programming, innovative technology, and the scale needed to build something truly different.”
Advertising is a principal focus of the combination. Radio Jukebox plans to aggregate inventory across its genre-based listening service, including audio pre-roll advertisements at stream starts and coordinated display placements in its web and app experiences. The companies believe a unified technology and sales platform will make their audience more accessible to advertisers. The reported annual session-start total is not a forecast of sellable impressions; actual inventory will depend on implementation, eligible listening sessions and contractual arrangements.
The rebranding will retire the separate consumer-facing station identities in favor of the Radio Jukebox service. The underlying programmed streams will provide music across the company’s genre categories, while a common interface and advertising infrastructure are developed for Jukebox.media. The companies expect to provide additional details about the rollout and the integration of existing channels before launch.
As it prepares for the early 2027 launch, Radio Jukebox plans to seek outside funding and explore strategic partnerships to support technology development, integration of the combined networks and expansion of its digital advertising capabilities. Potential partners may include companies in digital audio, advertising technology and media distribution. No financing arrangements or strategic partnerships are being announced at this time.
The companies have not announced financial terms of the combination. The jukebox interface is expected to launch in early 2027, following the announcement of the new company.
