Slacker Radio

LiveXLive completed its acquisition of Slacker Radio in late December 2017 and has made strong progress integrating Slacker and has already begun to realize many synergies from the combination. LiveXLive has leveraged its resources to help expand Slacker's distribution and its artist relationships and promotions. The company is working on expanding Slacker's reach to countries around the globe and is investing marketing dollars, which is resulting in strong free and paid subscriber growth. 

Slacker added approximately 10,000 net new subscribers in the fourth fiscal quarter, ending the fiscal year with 447,000 total subscribers as of March 31, 2018.

"We are unlocking the value in the combination of LiveXLive and Slacker Radio and successfully expanding our reachable audience. We are excited by the subscriber growth we are already seeing and expect to continue to accelerate Slacker through strategic expansion. Slacker's exclusive partnership with Tesla in North America is proving to be a valuable customer acquisition channel and a model that we plan to replicate," said Ellin.

Slacker's proven product development team is focused on rapidly creating the next generation of LiveXLive's web, mobile and Over-The-Top (OTT) applications, including Apple TV^TM , Roku^TM and Fire TV^TM, to bring live experiences online as the 2018 music festival season kicks off.

Slacker's world-class programming team is already contributing editorial content to LiveXLive's existing offerings and will soon deliver tailored audio channels supporting LiveXLive's live music broadcasts. Live audio feeds from LiveXLive's events will be featured and programmed across Slacker's vast distribution network. Collectively, these activities will provide leverageable cross-promotional elements and differentiated experiences across both services.

• Jules Haimovitz- Haimovitz has more than 35 years' experience developing, managing and leading some of the most well-known cable networks and production companies in entertainment, including Showtime, Lifetime, MGM, Dick Clark Productions, Viacom, Aaron Spelling Productions, Inc. and more.
