AOL Renames Cable Music Channel, Adds Content
Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:26 AM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - America Online said on Monday it would rename its fledgling cable music video channel and offer more content in an effort to steer viewers to an AOL Web site.

The channel, originally called "My Music Channel," will now be named "AOL Music On Demand."


AOL is aiming to promote its AOL Music videos and original programing on the channel carried by Time Warner Cable, hoping to entice viewers to find more material on its free Web site AOLMusic.com.

Launched eight months ago with little fanfare, the cable channel lets viewers click their remote controls to order up videos and AOL programing, once available only to paying subscribers to its high-speed Internet service, for free.

The cable channel is being used as a marketing tool to persuade non-AOL members to find even more free content on its Web site, bucking a trend in the media industry toward charging for content. New York Times Co. (NYT.N: Quote, Profile, Research) said last Friday it was mulling a plan to charge for its online newspaper edition.

AOL, the Dulles, Virginia-based unit of Time Warner Inc. (TWX.N: Quote, Profile, Research) , is betting that giving away more free material will help it boost online advertising dollars amid an ongoing subscriber defection.

AOL has lost millions of members this year, but Time Warner said it expects the unit to post growth in full-year 2004 profit before items in the low to mid-teens percentage range.

"Now we're much more interested in extending the AOL brand into the nonmember audience and building that exposure," an AOL spokeswoman said.

AOL Music On Demand is now available in 30 markets, after entering New York and New Jersey this month.

Thanks to Britney (curious.com) & AOL (musicondemand.com), 2005 will be a great year for us.

Look forward to chatting with you.
