Same here. It was rumored early Sept. and that rumor hurt Pandora's shares for a few days but I didn't know it transitioned over to Real Thing.

I read the link and the link's link. Fewer choices for consumers and legalized payola. For new music discovery I'd rather use a subscription-based service that retains some modicum of independence such as MOG/Spotify/Rdio, for as long as the labels permit them to exist.
