Fans of contemporary Christian music now have the ability to listen to their favorite artists on their cell phones via live streaming audio, thanks to a new service from Sydus and Barnabus Road Media Inc. (BRM). The service is being offered free of charge on more than 65 million handsets in more than 90 countries.

“This collaboration with Sydus is truly revolutionary for the industry because users won't need to pay for downloaded songs or subscribe to a fee-based service,” said Paul Gathard, CEO of BRM.

The service, launched at www.ChristianMusic1.com, uses software from Sydus free to download for the CM1 mobile broadcast. Users can also download the mobile media player directly onto their mobile devices at www.CM1m.com.

BRM unveiled ChristianMusic1.com and CM1 ahead of its participation at the Radio & Records Christian Summit Dec. 8 -11 in Nashville. BRM already provides Internet hosting for the Moody Broadcasting Network's 11 national radio stations and is the endorsed Internet-technology provider of the Christian Music Broadcasters Association.
