mSpot to add 14 Channels through deal with ABC Radio
mSpot, the mobile music/radio/video entertainment service, has signed a partnership agreement with ABC Radio Networks to add another 14 new channels to its mSpot Radio lineup.
Thanks to the deal, 14 ABC Radio stations in the nation’s largest markets in New York, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Detroit, will be available to mSpot's one million subscribers in both the U.S. and Canada. mSpot provides its services in the U.S. for Sprint and U.S. Cellular, and in Canada for TELUS and Bell Mobility.
mSpot inked a similar deal with Clear Channel back in March.
"By offering our content on mSpot, we are rapidly expanding both the range and reach of our customer base," said John Rosso, senior vp, affiliate relations and digital media for ABC Radio Networks (a subsidiary of Citadel).
Launched about two years ago, mSpot Radio offers 200 channels - including more than 100 live radio stations. On top of ABC Radio Networks, mSpot has signed content deals with several radio corporations including Clear Channel, CBS Radio, National Public Radio, Radio Disney, FOX Sports and Marketwatch.
Content providers get a share of revenue on a per-subscriber basis and will eventually share in the revenue from inserted audio ads.

Yes, one million subscribers. This isn't a "burgeoning" technology as some think, this is real, and the threat is now.
mSpot was launched in 2005. They have 1 million subscribers as of March of this year. Here's the announcement if you'd like to read for yourself:
