There seems to be a lot of criticism for Beats1 playing varying music genres back to back within the same slot.
I'm from the UK and in my opinion, Beats1 is modelled around BBC Radio 1. Zane Lowe used to present the weekday evening slot. It's actually quite common for many different genres to be played within the same show. There are still times dedicated to particular genres but the big ones of breakfast and evening are always mixed.
I'm assuming it's very different in the US and there are more genre dedicated stations. Is this the case?
