🍏 Music, Local radio, doesn’t show local stations.

Open the “Local Broadcasters” section under Radio, in Apple Music (device doesn’t matter).

On my devices, none of the stations are local. I’m in Minnesota, but it’s showing stations, for Los Angeles etc.

I have to search for the stations to actually get the local ones in my state. None of the radio stations listed in the screenshot are in my area The highlighted one is.

By the way, don’t bother to call Apple support, two of them hung up (or the call dropped…it was a very good connection) and they didn’t bother to call back, despite having my Apple ID and contact information. One of them wasn’t even aware that Apple Music, does have FREE music to stream.

Listen to the radio in the Apple Music app - Apple Support

Here's how to find Radio

Listen to live radio on Apple Music

If you subscribe to Apple Music, you can tune in to three live radio stations — Apple Music 1, Apple Music Hits, and Apple Music Country.* Each station features shows hosted by the most respected names in music. And you can listen to these shows live and on-demand.

To start listening:

1. Open the Apple Music app or go to music.apple.com. On a PC, open iTunes.

2. Go to Radio. Can't find Radio?

3. Scroll to Apple Music 1, Apple Music Hits, or Apple Music Country to tune in live, see upcoming shows, and listen to previously aired shows on-demand.

You can also ask Siri to play Apple Music 1, Apple Music Hits, or Apple Music Country.

Listen to Apple Music 1 radio now

*You can listen to Apple Music Hits and Apple Music Country for a limited time without an Apple Music subscription. If you don't have an Apple Music subscription, you can listen to Apple Music 1 live, but can't access previously aired shows on-demand.

If the resource above has nothing to do with the type of support you're seeking, provide us specifics on what you are seeing and experiencing on your end for more help, and we'll continue from there.

Cheers!

I'm in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. I should't be seeing radio stations for Los Angeles, CA.

I have the same issue. I know it's late to reply in this thread.

Could this be an issue caused by the use of Private Relay. Apple Music wouldn't be aware of it running and take its purposely displaced location as the real locale of the user.

If true, Apple Music should ignore the Private Relay location and use the real one for radio stations suggestions.

What are you confused about? You clearly didn't read what I had wrote. If you had, you would have known that I already know how to find the radio stations section in Apple Music. You would also have seen that my post, was about LOCAL (local to MY AREA, not a 1,000 miles away) radio stations not showing up. You have to search for the local stations. So, what are you confused about?

It's not because of Private Relay. I was using Apple Music, for years before Private Relay. Do you see the same stations as what's in the screen shot, I included?
