USA: CBS Radio Blocks Streaming Outside Of U.S.

February 15, 2010

 

As of last Friday, CBS Radio has stopped streaming its terrestrial stations online outside of the U.S., presumably due to online royalty issues. All CBS stations, even News, Talk and Sports stations, are no longer available outside the States. If listeners outside the States attempt to listen online, they are given a message citing costs and regulations that now prevent the station from streaming.

 

CBS Radio VP of Communications Karen Mateo confirmed to FMQB that its stations are "not available outside of the U.S. at this time." Mateo added that "listeners outside the U.S. can access Last.fm where they can create endless personalized radio stations, watch videos, discover new artists, and learn more about their favorite musicians and events in their area."
