OnTheAir provides a streaming platform that lets any viewer click a “Call In” button to be previewed and brought onstage for synchronized video with the host. Hosts create a show with a unique URL and countdown landing page, schedule promotional tweets, and stream live to audiences. Viewers can text chat with each other and the host or request to join onstage via a guided equipment check and preview. The product targets radio-style call-in shows for celebrities, journalists, politicians, bloggers and other interactive programming. The company has exited stealth into a private beta and plans to start its first shows in a few weeks, initially capping attendance at 5,000 viewers per show with expansion a top priority. OnTheAir raised an $880,000 seed round and lists multiple Apple/Google/Facebook alums among its founders and well-known advisors.
