XM Channels to Air on Alltel Cell Phones

XM Satellite Radio Inc. has made a deal with Alltel Wireless, a cell phone service provider, to distribute some of XM's commercial-free channels over cell phones, reports Forbes. The deal will allow Alltel subscribers to get access to 20 XM music channels for a monthly fee of $7.99.

The pact mirrors a similar arrangement announced last year between XM's competitor Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. and Sprint.

Sirius and Sprint have not said how many customers have signed up for their service, which launched last September.
