"Rapid handset and network improvements have fueled consumer demand for mobile radio, and this partnership allows us to deliver an even better range of music and talk options to our customers."
"Mobile platforms are beginning to provide engaging listening and music discovery experiences for users looking to enjoy music anytime and anywhere," said Jeff Sellinger, Executive VP & General Manager, CBS Mobile. "Working with mSpot provides us with an opportunity to expand our CBS Radio and Last.fm distribution to handsets that we might not otherwise reach."

Among the stations licensed by CBS Radio are KROQ-FM (Los Angeles, Calif.), WFAN-AM (New York, N.Y.), and WXRT-FM (Chicago, Ill.). Through Last.fm, users will be able to listen to recommended music, create their own stations, and access artist bios. mSpot's radio applications allow customers to browse content, skip through songs on select stations, access recently-played stations, and bookmark favorite stations, the company noted in a release.
