iTunes Radio adds NPR as first news station

Apple is bringing talk radio into its iTunes Radio streaming service with the introduction of NPR. This first and new non-music station will run 24 hours a day and offer both live reporting as well as pre-recorded NPR shows. This new addition will help open NPR to new markets and help Apple differentiate its service from other streaming audio services. According to Tech Crunch, there are rumours going around that iTunes Radio will be offered to other markets, including Canada and UK. Hopefully, we can verify the veracity of that information. 

iTunes Radio debuts down under as Australia gets streaming service

It's certainly a G'day in Oz now that iTunes Radio has officially been launched. Apple announced iTunes Radio as available to music fans in Australia. iTunes Radio is a free Internet radio service featuring over 100 stations and an incredible catalog of music from the iTunes Store, combined with features only iTunes can deliver.

When you tune into iTunes Radio on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC or Apple TV. Apple's Eddie Cue noted that the company hopes to launch the service in 100 countries, could Canada be far behind? Fingers crossed, we'll get out iTunes Radio sooner rather than later.

iTunes Radio reportedly coming to Canada in early 2014

Bloomberg reports that Apple plans to release its online streaming radio service, iTunes Radio, to Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia in early 2014. While the report has yet to be verified by the Cupertino-based brand, this might seem in line with the recent job opening for the release of the service in the country.

iTunes Radio might soon make Canadian debut

If the new job listing on Apple’s website is any indication, iTunes Radio might soon make its way into Canada. The Cupertino-based company is searching for an iTunes Canada Music Programmer in charge of looking for and promoting new songs and important releases, highlighting content, and managing the product’s schedule and programming.

There isn’t a specific date for the product release but it might be available in the coming months. We will keep you posted on any developments.
