Internet media company Yahoo Inc. said on Wednesday it would launch a subscription, Web-based radio service, part of its continued drive to shift toward pay-for-use services.
The new Launchcast Plus service from Yahoo's Launch.com music site, which will carry commercial-free radio, will be available to consumers for $3.99 per month or $35.99 per year beginning Wednesday, the company said.
The service will also offer the users the chance to customize their own Web stations and tune in to 24-hour programming on 50 niche channels devoted to everything from show tunes to one-hit wonders.
"We think this service is going to appeal to our users who listen more than 30 hours per month," David Goldberg, vice president and general manager of music for Yahoo, told Reuters.
Yahoo said it would also make the Plus service available to subscribers to its dial-up and broadband Internet services, which it operates with SBC Communications Inc., free of charge.

"You can get more information on the product from here http://www.microsoft.com/office/onenote/. You do *not* need to signup there. You will get it if you are on the Office beta."
Microsoft began accepting nominations for the second Office 11 beta last November. Beta 2 will be the last full beta phase before Microsoft releases Office 11 mid-year. As with Office XP in 2001, Microsoft will likely issue at least two release candidates before Office 11 goes gold.
