Aha and CBS Radio jointly announced a partnership that will bring CBS's stations to drivers and other users of the Aha Radio platform. The partnership allows Aha Radio to distribute CBS Radio content via mobile devices and directly into vehicles. CBS Radio joins other content already available on Aha including Slacker, Facebook, and Twitter. Aha has also recently signed content deals with NPR, Entertainment Radio Network, MOG, Rhapsody, and AOL SHOUTcast Radio, which will become available this year.
Honda and Subaru are currently working with Aha to integrate with the Aha platform starting with model year 2013 vehicles. Kenwood has also announced that it will begin shipping Aha-integrated aftermarket head units this Spring. Honda, Subaru and Kenwood customers will be able to access all of Aha's stations right from the car's infotainment system. Aha also announced partnerships with top content providers to expand Aha's platform to tens of thousands of personalized, web-enabled stations that cover everything from music, news and social streams to travel and audiobooks.

Garmin just laid off 1,300 employees, which uses HD Radio, and MSN Direct just terminated its traffic services for Clear Chanel HD Radio. Aha is a social app, so expensive navigation systems will fall to the wayside along with HD Radio.
