The digital radio scene has been heating up with multiple new deals, strategic partnerships, and distribution agreements. Most recently, Spotify introduced a number of new apps which allow record labels and distributors to showcase their music, including Sony Legacy and the Warner Music Group. Spotify also revealed that it’s trying to raise a new round of funding that values the company at $3.5 billion.  

Pandora continues to push its distribution through deals with big carmakers, although it faces competition from other online audio services. In November, Ford made Slacker available in new cars via the Ford Sync AppLink, which allows drivers to import various online apps, including media content, via a smartphone connection.
