Spoločnosť Apple na WWDC introduced not only a new streaming service, but also its own music station, Beats 1. Since there is a number after the station name, one would think that Apple will soon launch other channels that will either focus on specific genres or offer completely different content. Those who happened to speculate on such a possibility can now increase their attention, since internal documents, respectively contracts between Applom and music publishers really talk about the presence of other music stations. If the reports are confirmed, we can expect up to 5 Beats channels in the future, which will have studios around the world and will be able to fulfill the plan of "24-hour live music" on 100%.
Today, there is only one station available, Beats 1, which runs 24 hours a day, but the live broadcast here lasts only 12 hours, and the remaining shows and playlists are pre-recorded and then only put on the air. However, the company is talking about Beats 2, Beats 3, Beats 4 and Beats 5 stations, and it's entirely possible that the second station could have a newsroom in Australia, New Zealand or Asia and run 12 hours during which Beats 1 isn't live . At the same time, it is also possible that individual stations will actually only be language localizations, since Beats 1 is available worldwide, but runs exclusively in English. Beats 3 could be a Russian station where we will hear Russian presenters. Other stations could then be Japanese or Korean, which would not surprise us considering that Apple cez víkend spustil oficiálne YouTube kanály pre tieto dve krajiny. Navyše teraz spoločnosť vyvesila množstvo billboard of Apple Music around the world, including in Mexico City and Tokyo.
Where is the information that it doesn't run 24 hours but only 12?
After all Apple he boasted about it evente, that it is the first 24/7 radio and I can confirm from personal experience that whether it is in the morning, at lunch, in the afternoon, in the evening, at night, in the morning, whenever I listened to the radio there were always presenters... I don't feel that there are playlists for 12 hours.
