mSpotClear Channel Radio and mobile entertainment provider mSpot have entered in a content agreement, allowing for music programming from ten Clear Channel stations to be heard on mSpot's radio services.

Clear Channel Radio is providing mSpot with Contemporary Hits Radio (CHR) and Urban programming from five of its most popular terrestrial stations: WHTZ (New York), WWPR (New York), KHHT (Los Angeles), WGCI (Chicago) and WMIB (Miami).

Spanish-language content from four Latin channels and a playlist of Hip-Hop hits (from Clear Channel Radio's Format Lab) also are now all available to mSpot subscribers commercial free.

If that's not bad enough, next month mSpot expects to distribute live broadcasts from almost 100 Clear Channel Radio stations.

"Wireless carriers, entertainment and media companies are working hard to make new and compelling content available to a variety of mobile phones," said mSpot CEO and co-founder Daren Tsui. "Radio programming is among the most requested mobile content, so we're thrilled to be able to offer Clear Channel Radio's top-rated and original music channels to mSpot users."

mSpot announced yesterday that they've reached 1 million subscribers since going live with their first service in 2005.

XM/SIRIUS need to hit harder on the fact that cell phone providers are offering these kinds of services, especially mspot. Even more than HD Radio & internet radio, cell phone radio is becoming a real competitor.
