AOL - Capturing Market through Content & Partnering

America Online Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. on Monday said they would launch a joint online radio service that will be offered through the AOL portal that's scheduled to launch this summer. The service would include at no charge 20 XM radio stations and 130 AOL-produced stations currently available only through AOL's subscriber service. A premium AOL/XM service would be available for a monthly subscription fee. [Ed. note: once again, AOL is creating strategic partnerships to increase its unique appeal and exclusive content].
