Subscription music streaming service Rdio and broadcast radio network Cumulus Media have announced a free ad-supported service set tolaunch later this year, reports HypeBot.
Earlier this year, Rdio debuted free unlimited online music streaming to U.S. customers, a move that had been expected after the company revealed a partnership with Cumulus in September of 2013 and one that follows the freemium model established Spotify and Deezer, expected to launch in the United States at some point in the near future. The deal also mirrors a similar pre-existing one between Rdio and DMG, an Australian broadcast radio company.
