Listening to the radio can be a nice change from the same old songs and playlists. You can discover a new song or enjoy a radio show. And with one of these radio apps on Apple TV, you can just tune in and let it play.
Note that the apps we’ve mentioned are in no particular order, so you can try all of them and see which one suits your needs.
But before you do that, remember that the built-in Music app on Apple TV also has a Radio tab with stations like Apple Music 1 (earlier called Beats 1), Apple Music Hits, Apple Music Country, and more. The best part is that you do not need to have an Apple Music subscription to listen to stations like Apple Music 1.
