BUFFALO, N.Y., April 7, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Synacor today announced a partnership with AccuRadio to offer commercial-free music to consumers through the online portals of Synacor's cable and telco customers including Charter Communications, Embarq and WOW!.

Synacor's cable operator, telecom operator and Internet service provider customers will now be able to deliver 40 channels of music to their Internet service subscribers at no additional cost as part of their online portal experience. AccuRadio will offer these consumers a wide variety of music from virtually all musical genres including rock, pop, jazz, classical, oldies, country, R&B, pop standards, Latin hits and world music.

"It's a rewarding opportunity to be able to bring AccuRadio's programming to the millions of consumers who are using Synacor's affiliates' portals," said Kurt Hanson, chief executive officer of AccuRadio and publisher of "RAIN: Radio And Internet Newsletter" (http://www.kurthanson.com/). "We believe they'll be delighted with our comprehensive content."

AccuRadio is one of the world's leading independent, multi-channel Internet radio properties, with nearly a half-million listeners per month. Because AccuRadio features a web-based player, there is no need for consumers to download a separate music player.

"AccuRadio provides great content that is updated regularly so that listeners can stay current with the latest hits," said Theodore May, Synacor vice president of content and value added services. "Listeners will now have access to a deep library of music from the latest releases to the classics."

Subscribers will have access to AccuRadio through white-label online portals developed and managed by Synacor. These portals provide users a seamlessly integrated experience right on their homepage and allow them to enjoy exclusive content without ever leaving their primary Web site.
