Internet station doubles users in six months.

Dash Radio emerged from beta earlier this year with over 60 channels curated by a range of artists and music professionals.

Ad- and subscription-free, the service requires listeners to download an app to tune into any broadcast. Among others, Dash now powers East Village Radio’s broadcasts (including FACT’s own radio show).

When Apple announced its new music offering, including Beats 1, its 24-hour radio station curated by humans, Scott Kenney (aka DJ Skee) commented that the move would be beneficial for the upstart. A bigger competitor would end up bringing more listener to his station.

It seems Keeney has been proven partly right. Less than six months after Dash Radio went live, the station is reporting over 3 million subscribers, double what it had in June.

Speaking to Gigaom, Dash quoted 2.5 million active subscribers: people spending an average of 30 minutes per session via the app over the course of a month. However, there were no details as to how many sessions a user indulges in.

The next phase for the radio station will be to figure out more ways to monetise its offerings, with Keeney hinting at possible options: “We think there’s a place for the labels, the big streaming services, and in future updates you’ll even see [integrations] that let you save or add songs you hear from a station on Dash. But we think radio curated by real people is still the best way to discover new music and hold your attention.”
