Turkey's most popular online music service since 2008, fizy, has
launched a new era in the field of interactive broadcasting. It is
turning the users into radio hosts by offering a legal platform
consisting of millions of songs. 'Fizy live' can be accessed through
browsers without requiring a plug-in, or any extra programs. Users
can choose from a wide range of music to create a playlist of their
own to share with listeners. The only requirement is for the users to
register on http://www.fizy.com free of charge, click on the 'start
broadcasting' button, choosing from a prepaid list of songs and start
wiring the list through any of the social media channels such as
Facebook and Twitter.

Fizy is one of the most important platforms that not only helps to
protect the copyrights of the music industry, but also contributes to
its growth. Through the strength gained by Turkcell's support in
2010, fizy now has 3 million registered users with 30 million unique
visitors each year, offering special events such as listening to
certain albums before they hit the shelves, or else to available
online concerts. Now users will be able to interact, while enjoying
all of the other features of fizy.

Note: The application is currently available in Turkey and further
investments are to follow in other countries.
