CBS Radio's Play.it beta

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

That, and Free FM.

The KROQ stream often has lag in it. They need more bandwidth.

Now, they need to turn this player into an iPhone app.

AOL launches updated radio service, adds CBS stations
Includes redesigned online player, increased reach
By Linda Rosencrance

June 10, 2008 (Computerworld) AOL LLC today launched its updated radio service, adding streams from 150 CBS Radio stations, custom channels and 200 AOL Radio channels.

The company has also redesigned its online player and added new features. The new player, powered by CBS Radio, lets users skip songs, access the last 30 songs they listened to, add unlimited preset stations, share streams with AOL Instant Messenger users and listen to AOL Radio through the mini AOL Radio player that is built into the Buddy List for users of AIM Version 6.0 or higher, according to a statement.

AOL's agreement with CBS Radio, first announced in March, replaces a previous deal AOL had with XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc.

The deal is designed to increase revenue for AOL as well as increase the online audience for CBS. Under the deal, CBS Radio will also sell ads across AOL's radio service.

In addition to AOL Radio's 200-plus stations including Awesome 80s, Fresh 100 and Classic Rock, AOL Radio users will be able to access CBS Radio programming, including WFAN-AM and 1010 WINS in New York, KLSX and KROQ in Los Angeles, WXRT in Chicago, and WVEE in Atlanta.

The CBS stations are still not in the Winamp directory yet.
