AARP introduces 18 channels of “free internet radio"
The organization says “Whatever your taste – rock, R&B, country, jazz, classical, Latin, gospel – there’s a station for you, full of classics, favorites and handpicked fresh sounds. It’s easy to use and it’s free.” AARP believes that many of its 37 million listeners are ready to spend less time with CD’s, and more time with online audio. The new AARP site features "classic R&B”, “AARP Coffeehouse”, “AARP Modern rock" and Paul Simon. Simon is signed to Concord Music Group, which programs the 18 channels, heard inside a player produced by Slacker Radio. Hugh Delehanty, AARP’s editor in chief for publications, tells the New York Times that “because of changes in format and whatnot, a lot of [boomers] have gotten lost in terms of how to find their music.”
