Where do you live? Terrestrial radio is downright terrible.Not sure how much less I could care about Zane Lowe. And the answer is none. None less.
A very close musical event horizon? I know what I like and I like what I know? Shame on you.Beats 1: For people who don't have musical taste of their own. I am amazed that Apple thought that this was a good idea.
Ever seen them live? Just incredible.
Following the launch of Apple Music alongside iOS 8.4, Apple's Beats 1 radio station led by Zane Lowe has begun broadcasting. Available in more than 100 countries, Beats 1 is a 24/7 radio station that will play music around the clock with live DJs and guests.
The inaugural song played on Beats 1 radio right when it kicked off at 9:00 a.m. was Spring King's "City," which was followed by Beck's "Dreams" and Jamie xx's "In Color." Spring King was picked by Lowe as a great upcoming band from Manchester.
Beats 1 features several shows by various on-air personalities, and a full lineup of what's going to be on can be found at the Beats 1 website, which forwards to Apple's new Tumblr page for Apple Music and Beats 1. The Tumblr page has a complete schedule that displays what's playing, and it adjusts to your time zone based on location.

Beats 1 will include exclusive interviews and news broadcasts, with the first interview taking place tomorrow with Eminem. According to Zane Low, today's focus is on the music, and several exclusive songs will be played over the course of the day.
Apple Music is available now and is free for all listeners for the first three months. Following the trial period, the service will cost $9.99 per month for individuals or $14.99 for families of up to 6.

SiriusXM is NOT free. In order to get it, you have to have a credit card. Get over it.
If you want to call Kanye West etc. brilliant, that is..... but to each its own.
I do wonder how much or many of these shows are prerecorded. I imagine the first hour probably was for logistical reasons.
Freedom is on yet again.

That read sounded suspiciously like Eddie Izzard. But it couldn’t be, could it?Find it interesting that they have the addvert "Made possible by......"
they're COMING TO ACL! Woot!
Sadly the closest I've managed so far is the video stream of them playing the 6Music Festival back in February.... but if they ever come back to the East Midlands I'll be there!
Maybe the short adverts are broadcast on the pre-recorded segments but not when it's actually live (so when any of the three main DJ's are broadcasting)?
