XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. agreed to broadcast news and music
programming from the New York Times Co. on several XM channels. Financial
terms weren't disclosed, and an XM spokesman couldn't immediately comment
on the length of the agreement.
In a news release Tuesday, the nation's largest satellite-radio provider
confirmed earlier reports that XM, based in Washington, will incorporate a
series of Times-branded features on several of its talk channels, including
commentaries from Times staffers. The content will come from the
newspaper's newly established radio unit.
XM, which has 4.4 million subscribers and more than 159 channels, will also
jointly develop hourly newscasts and quarterly classical music specials
with the Times radio unit.
New York Times Radio was created this year and comprises New York Times
Radio News and WQXR FM, a classical-music radio station.
