AOL Radio will begin carrying Bob Dylan’s weekly XM show Theme Time Radio Hour today. In addition, Dylan fans can catch 18 “Theme Time” shows back-to-back as part of XM’s weekend-long marathon, which will be simulcast on AOL Radio beginning Friday, September 1. This is the first time the show has been available to people who don’t subscribe to XM.
AOL also began simulcasts of XM’s world premiere of Bob Dylan’s Modern Times album on Monday and is streaming the album on demand all week as part of AOL Music’s Full CD Listening Party.
“Dylan fans like me have long wondered what music moves and inspires the man, so to hear him playing DJ on the ‘Theme Time Radio Hour’ is as insightful as it is entertaining,” said Erik Flannigan, GM/VP of AOL Music. “We’re thrilled AOL Music will expand the audience for this truly one-of-a-kind program.”
