Apple Music Expanding Its Reach

Apple Music is expanding the reach of its 24/7 live radio stations beyond its own ecosystem for the first time through a new partnership with TuneIn. Starting August 27, all six of Apple Music’s commercial-free live stations — Apple Music 1, Apple Music Hits, Apple Music Country, Apple Musica Uno, Apple Music Club, and Apple Music Chill — are available to stream on TuneIn.

The agreement makes the stations accessible worldwide across TuneIn’s network of more than 200 connected device integrations, spanning smart speakers, headphones, and over 15 automotive brands.

“Apple Music Radio has always been about connection, artists sharing their music and their stories in real time and listeners discovering something new together,” said Rachel Newman, co-head of Apple Music. “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.”

Rich Stern, CEO of TuneIn, said the move underscores TuneIn’s role as a global audio distribution leader. “Apple choosing TuneIn as the first platform to stream its radio stations reinforces our position as the go-to distribution partner for global audio,” Stern said. “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.” Listeners can now access the Apple Music radio stations for free worldwide on the TuneIn app and at TuneIn.com.
