Overview

• Starting today, Apple Music 1, Apple Music Hits, Apple Music Country, Apple Música Uno, Apple Music Club, and Apple Music Chill stream on TuneIn outside the Apple Music app.
• The placement exposes the stations to TuneIn’s roughly 75 million monthly users, according to the Wall Street Journal.
• The feeds remain commercial‑free on TuneIn, with in‑app and web links that send listeners to Apple Music.
• The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple approached TuneIn toward the end of last year to pursue the distribution deal.
• Reporting frames the strategy as converting radio listeners into paid subscribers as Apple Music lacks an ad‑supported tier and has seen share fall (U.S. 30% in 2020 to 25% in 2024; global 16% to 12%) while Spotify’s U.S. share reached 37%.
