International broadcasting, sort of: Last.fm on CBS radio stations' digital side channels.

"While most radio stations are looking for ways to expand their online presence, CBS Interactive Music Group is doing the opposite with [London based] social music site Last.fm. by giving the brand an all new station to be broadcast on the company’s HD multicast stations. Last.fm will effectively take over CBS HD broadcast stations starting in four markets: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco. The broadcasts kick off on Monday, October 5. The broadcast—it will be the same in all markets—will feature a mix of music aggregated and influenced by the service’s user-generated weekly charts."
