Road Runner Streaming Radio

Road Runner Radio can be accessed here. Windows Media Player is required to run RR Radio. Here's a screenshot when you open it up:

This service works fine and it is worth noting a feature for Road Runner subscribers. If you are accessing it from your RR internet connection then it just plays without a login. If you access it from work or a non-RR connection you'll have to login using a valid Road Runner Email address and password (your 'master account' or sub-account) before it will start streaming. RR Radio cannot really compete with Spotify, Pandora, rdio, or Stitcher, but it's OK.

From the FAQ on Road Runner Radio at help.rr.com:
Overview
Road Runner Radio provides CD-quality, commercial-free digital radio to all Road Runner customers at no additional cost. Broadcast from a central location in real time, Road Runner Radio offers a selection of 46 stations across 12 genres from MUSIC CHOICE:
  • Classical (2 stations)

Like nearly all RR services TWC has partnered with a provider/subsidiary who delivers the feature, in this case Music Choice. Music Choice is owned by Comcast, Cox Communications, Time Warner Cable, Microsoft, Motorola Mobility, Sony Corporation of America and EMI Music.
