Title: Itunes Radio-competion for BBC Radio?
Post by FoxyFace on Jun 11^th, 2013, 7:24am

Reading about the latest Apple product launch makes me wonder just what the latest BBC thinking is with regard to these audio streaming services that "auto-select" your preferred choices and create playlist radio stations. Does the BBC sense competition? -is there something new here? I would be interested to hear some official and non-official views
At the moment-If I want my music genres chosen for me-I just select either Radio's 1,2,3 or 6 and that suits me fine. Of course-if I was invited onto Radio 4's Desert Island Discs--I would have my very own playlist selected for me. Now there's an idea?
