AOL and XM Joining Forces for Online Radio

Posted by samzenpus on from the refresh-my-station dept.

Josh writes "BetaNews is reporting that AOL and XM are joining forces to make available 20 XM music channels plus 130 of its own available to anyone on the internet for free starting this summer. AOL members will have free broadband access to 70 XM channels, although apparently there are plans for a $5/month option for non-subscribers. The deal means AOL Music specials will make it onto XM's channels, and XM promos will be heard across AOL Music's properties."

    ... for none subscribers.
    I think the poster meant 'for nun subscribers', as once again AOL shows it's willing to bend over backwards for the Catholic church.
  3. AOL CD's? by john.mull · · Score: 3, Funny

    Next up, AOL will publish the worst of the music onto CD's so that you can surf AOL offline. The new CD's will be made by the billions and distributed to a snail mailbox near you.
