Los Angeles - Radio station owner Emmis Communications has announced that two of its popular hip-hop stations, Power 106 (KPWR-FM) in Los Angeles and HOT 97 (WQHT-FM) in New York City, have become the first radio stations to fully integrate Apple's iTunes Store into their websites. Listeners may now search, browse and buy music they hear on the radio or online directly from ether site. "We will have full control of the storefront itself," said Rey Mena, vice president of Emmis Interactive. "Therefore, we can feature any artist we want to feature. Since each storefront represents Power 106 and HOT 97's playlists, they will feature what is relevant to their listeners. In addition, if you want to know what Big Boy, Funkmaster Flex or other Power 106 and HOT 97 DJs are listening to, you can find it on our websites and purchase it directly from the iTunes Music Stores."
