Looks like the much anticipated launch of Juke will never take place as CBS interactive has decided to strangle the service. Juke, the music news site had been acquired by CBS when it bought CNET in May for $1.8 billion. The decision may have been taken primarily because CBS Interactive already owns Last.fm and the idea of running the same services under different names must have sounded pretty useless. Idolator added:
CBS Interactive didn’t return our requests for comment, but we can definitely say that this news is something like the 543rd bad sign for anyone hoping to get paid for writing about music to cross our transom this year.
