Real to Stream Music to Comcast Users

RealNetworks has expanded its partnership with leading cable provider Comcast to offer its Internet radio service, called Rhapsody RadioPlus, free of charge to Comcast's 6.5 million broadband subscribers. RadioPlus is an integrated part of Real's Rhapsody jukebox subscription music service.

Rhapsody RadioPlus, which normally runs $5 USD per month, includes 90 radio stations, 30,000 artist-based stations and allows users to build their own custom radio stations. However, if Comcast subscribers wish to search for and listen to a specific song, they must upgrade to the full Rhapsody product that costs $10 USD per month. Real currently boasts 625,000 customers of its music service.
