Apple Music has launched two live global “radio stations” on its paid service. Per the company, Apple Music Country and Apple Music Hits “feature exclusive original shows from the world’s top music hosts and artists.” John Koetsier observes that “some of the new radio stations are a little like podcasting for celebrities.”
In Forbes, Koetsier emphasizes the stations’ mixture of tunes and A-list dialogue: “Both will be almost literally dripping with stars who will feature in both the launch and ongoing regular shows on the stations.” The format, primed to compete, is “an interesting evolution of talk radio, in a sense, with music on radio.”
Apple’s investment falls in line with Spotify’s exclusive-content line drive. “Some of the content in Apple Music radio stations feels like it could live very easily in Apple Podcasts, and vice-versa,” Koetsier writes. “The key differences, seemingly, are curation — being featured on the platform — as well as monetization.”
