Cars.com Creates Custom Pandora Stations for Road Trippers, Tailgaters
For those planning a holiday road trip or for sports fans that spend most fall weekends tailgating, Cars.com has some news that might spice up drivers’ time on the road or at the game.
Revealed late last week, the site announced it has launched three new custom Pandora branded radio stations.
The stations titled, “Road Trip”, “Car Songs” and “Tailgate” can now be accessed from the car, computer, smartphone and other mobile devices, such as the iPad.
"Pandora is everywhere in today’s world, on the Web, smartphones, iPads and in cars," said Mitch Golub, Cars.com president. "With this campaign we can help car buyers find not only the right car for the right price but the right mix of music for any car-related occasion."
So what are these new stations playing?
The company noted that while listening to the “Road Trip” station, users will hear a mix of Southern and classic rock, with “a little bit of country thrown in.” Sample artists include George Strait, the Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana, to name a few.
For those who find themselves behind the wheel most of the day, the “Car Songs” station features music about cars and driving. For example, Johy Mayer’s “Route 66” and Cake’s “The Distance” are just a couple of the songs that might come up.
And lastly, for those who are camped out in the parking lot before the game, the “Tailgate” station features a mix of hip hop, pop, and rock, featuring artists such as Kanye West and The Fugees.
