XM OFFERS “ONLINE ONLY” SUBSCRIPTIONS

CBS Radio’s deal with AOL Radio, which we reported Friday, will put an end to the online radio partnership between AOL and XM. Now, XM is launching its own online subscription service called XM Radio Online. The subscription service is separate from the satellite service (though satellite subscribers can listen free online), and offers access to XM’s 80 channels of commercial-free music (plus Opie & Anthony, Oprah, etc.) for $7.99/month (with the first six months at $2.99/month). Competitor Sirius has had a subscription online radio service for some time. XM also has limited content deals with AT&T and Alltell wireless, iTunes (for podcasts), and some GPS services. 20 of XM’s channels are available on AOL Radio, but that will end May 1. The Washington Post wrote that Seven of the top 10 radio channels on AOL Radio on Friday were XM stations.
