Last.fm Gets CBS Radio Stations

Last.fmCBS and CBS-owned Last.fm have announced a distribution deal today that will bring CBS Radio stations across the U.S. to the Last.fm Internet music service. The deal will bring the top stations including New York’s WCBS-FM, Los Angeles’ KROQ, Chicago’s WXRT and Atlanta’s WVEE to Last.fm. CBS also notes, "A staggered rollout of CBS RADIO’s streams to Last.fm is currently underway and includes all genres, including rock, pop, country, news, talk
and sports stations, among others. The full online version of the stations will be streamed, providing Web-based advertisers additional exposure to Last.fm’s growing U.S. audience."

Basically what this means is that if you like the on-air personalities on one CBS station and move to another city, you can still live like you were in the old city before you moved to the new city where you will now listen to music and information from the old city.
