Case Study: Global achieves record online listening share with Candyspace

Global launches Live Restart and Time Shift in under 6 months with Candyspace

The customer, Global, a major European radio and outdoor company, faced the challenge that its streaming service, Global Player, lacked the ability for users to rewind or replay live radio programs—a standard feature expected by modern audiences. To address this gap and provide a seamless listening experience, Global engaged the vendor Candyspace for its product expertise in digital streaming.

Candyspace deployed a multidisciplinary team to develop and implement two key features, 'Live Restart' and 'Time Shift,' across all device platforms. This solution enabled users to restart live shows and rewind content, significantly enhancing the user experience. The results were highly successful, with Global achieving its highest audience numbers to date—28.6 million weekly listeners—and a record 27.8% online listening share shortly after the launch.
