I don't know this for sure but, considering the potential listenership
available in Alexa and Google devices, I imagine they will come up
with a solution. I doubt they'll want to lose that many listeners even
as they try to grow the radio.com brand which, of course, they own.

I believe Entercom's handle on Twitter is @entercom. I would contact them
publicly about this. I have pointed out to them that many owners of Alexa
products do not have access to computers or mobile devices, meaning that
moving apps from Tunein to Radio.com could lock out those consumers,
preventing them from listening to the many stations being removed from that
platform.

One of the radio stations to which I most frequently listen, WSCR, is
moving off of Tune In and will only be available in the streaming
world through radio.com. As I understand it, RADIO.com is a
proprietary streaming service of CBS radio networks. They don't
appear to have a skill or similar app for use with Alexa devices.
Anyone got any ideas on how I might be able to listen to this station
once they drop off Tune In? I have written RADIO.com, but so far have
only gotten an acknowledgement that I've written them. If I hear
anything, I'll post.
I assume this is likely to be repeated more frequently with CBS based
stations and services such as CBS Sports and CBS news.
