Apple Music and TuneIn have announced a partnership that will bring Apple Music’s six commercial-free radio stations to TuneIn’s platforms starting today.
TuneIn will distribute Apple’s six live streaming stations to all of its platforms including apps, smart speakers, headphones and 15+ automotive brands. This marks the first time Apple’s 24/7 global radio stations are available outside of its own native platform. The stations included are Apple Music 1, Apple Music Hits, Apple Music Country, Apple Música Uno, Apple Music Club, and Apple Music Chill.
Apple Music co-head Rachel Newman said, “Apple Music Radio has always been about connection, artists sharing their music and their stories in real time and listeners discovering something new together. Through our partnership with TuneIn, we’re able to bring that experience to even more people, extending beyond the Apple ecosystem and reaching music fans wherever they are.”
TuneIn CEO Rich Stern commented, “Apple choosing TuneIn as the first platform to stream its radio stations reinforces our position as the go-to distribution partner for global audio. With deep integrations across connected devices and cars, TuneIn is uniquely positioned to deliver premium content to listeners everywhere. Our mission is simple: to be the world’s leading live audio platform, bringing nonstop, audio experiences to audiences 24/7.”
