Auddia Inc. (NASDAQ: AUUD) announced initial performance results from the first 30 days of Discovr Radio's MVP offering, with engagement levels significantly exceeding the company's original projections. Following the official launch on January 20, 2026, the limited MVP phase measured listener engagement and validated performance metrics, revealing that a select group of live tracks generated substantial interaction beyond passive streaming.
During the first 30 days, participating artists averaged more than 500 plays per month and more than 20 external link clicks per artist. Among the first 15 artists on the Discovr Radio platform, faidr listeners provided 491 profile views and 319 outbound link clicks, demonstrating active engagement beyond passive listening. The average clickthrough rate for any Discovr artist's profile reached 60%, exceeding the company's phase 1 goal of approximately 20%.
Theo Romeo, Chief Marketing Officer of Auddia, stated that these early MVP results validate the belief that Discovr Radio can drive meaningful, measurable engagement for artists within a streaming radio environment. Romeo noted that listeners are exploring artist profiles and clicking through to external destinations at rates that exceeded initial expectations, indicating depth of interaction beyond simple track plays.
Discovr Radio integrates directly into the faidr listening experience, inserting artist tracks into AM/FM streaming feeds during traditional ad slots while preserving a seamless user experience. The MVP phase tested both guaranteed play delivery and downstream engagement actions including likes, profile visits, and outbound clicks. The platform is monetized by artists paying a subscription to guarantee their music is heard by listeners of mainstream radio stations, with early metrics supporting the value artists and labels expect to receive through their Discovr Radio subscription.
The company plans to continue refining its AI-driven placement capabilities, reporting tools, and artist onboarding processes as it transitions from MVP validation to broader commercial expansion. As faidr's user base grows, Discovr Radio is designed to scale accordingly. For more information about Auddia's technology platform, visit https://www.auddia.com.

The company's flagship audio superapp, faidr, delivers multiple industry features including ad-free listening on any AM/FM music station, content skipping across AM/FM stations, one-touch skipping of podcast ad breaks, and integrated artist discovery experiences.
