AOL (NYSE: TWX) has started replicating its recently launched Last.fm-powered AOL Radio in its European markets, starting with France, Germany and the UK.

This ties in with CBS (NYSE: CBS) Radio’s goal - repeated when it relaunched its online offerings last week - of being the “number one internet radio station” and is part of a joint CBS-AOL deal. The radio network, however, unveiled its own new Play.it player.
