allowed AOL Radio to continue to grow, and having more than 6 million
downloads and counting is further proof that AOL Radio continues
to innovate in the Internet radio space. We are thrilled it’s being so
well received by consumers and is a testament that the hard work of the
AOL Radio and Mobile teams is really paying off.”
