Apple says that “the programming will be a constant flow of great highlights across a variety of genres.” It all starts with a cover of a brand new Beck song, “be here now.” One of the hosts is Brian Eno, who (among other things.)
All these stations are available now. they join Apple Music 1, Apple Music Hits, and Apple Music Country.
