MusicChoice Sues MTV
March 04, 2008 - Digital and Mobile | Legal and Management

By Antony Bruno, Denver

MusicChoice has filed suit against MTV Networks and its parent company Viacom over the URGE Radio service. According to the suit, filed today in a Delaware U.S. district court, MusicChoice says MTV’s URGE Radio service violates two MusicChoice patents.

Like MusicChoice, URGE Radio is a digital radio service offered through cable operators. It programs various channels of 24/7 streaming music based on multiple genres, displaying both song and artist information on the TV screen.

MusicChoice is seeking unspecified damages and a court injunction blocking any further use of the URGE Radio service.
