(NASDAQ:AUUD)(NASDAQ:AUUDW) (\"Auddia\" or the \"Company\"), developer of a proprietary AI platform for radio and innovative technologies for podcasts that is reinventing how consumers engage with audio, today announced it has launched its next generation AI algorithm to deliver a commercial-free listening experience on news, talk, and sports radio stations, while improving the ability to hear DJ talk segments on music stations within the faidr mobile application. Auddia began researching and developing an advanced AI platform to give consumers control over their AM/FM listening experience in 2017.

The Company will be rolling out its new technology in phases. As of today, approximately 10% of all stations have full commercial-free enablement through the next generation AI. By July 31st, the Company expects 80% of all stations will be fully enabled with the new AI, and the final 20% of stations to be enabled by the end of Q3. The Company has now achieved its previous guidance that news, talk and sports stations would be faidr enabled in Q2. \"In our February launch of the faidr app, our AI model only made the decision whether an audio segment was music or not music. Up until today, that has forced us to cut out a fair amount of local talk content that is unique to radio, as well as postpone the addition of commercial-free news, talk, and sports statio...
