More details on UK radio group Chrysalis’ plans to launch a mobile music service…if the service is successful, it will increase revenues at Chrysalis by at least 10 per cent within three years, adding about £18m to turnover and £6m to profits.
The new unit, Chrysalis Mobile, will employ six people, and has cost just £500,000 to set up.
Here’s how it will work: Potential customers will hear a song on the radio. They will then send a text message to download it – for £3 per song – to their phone. Chrysalis will take 95p of this (or around 45p, as and when it persuades radio stations that it does not own to offer the service).
