Will Mickey Mouse soon sport an iPod? Not yet, but a seed has been planted in the digital media relationship between Disney and Apple as the two companies announced today that Radio Disney tunes will be available for download in the iTunes store.
Radio Disney specifically said, according to a press release, that listeners of their nationwide radio network can now find the music they hear on Apple’s iTunes store in a special section. Also available will be special features and exclusives.
“iTunes is a great way for our loyal listeners to find and buy the music they love on Radio Disney. Consumers count on Radio Disney to bring them fun, contemporary music that’s appropriate for families,” said Jean-Paul Colaco, President and General Manager, Radio Disney. “This is yet another important step in our strategy to bring Radio Disney music to kids and families in every platform.”
“The iTunes Music Store makes it easy for families to find and purchase the music they hear on Radio Disney,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of Applications. “Fans can now buy their favorite Radio Disney songs, as well as DJ picks, special remixes and other exclusive content from the world’s number one online music store.”
