    Certain stations may have ads on them.

     

    The stations you create on demand shouldn't have commercials with your Apple Music subscription, but any of the live stations like Beats 1 that are being handled by a DJ are actual radio stations, so they can.

    Beats1 has no commercials. Other on-demand radio stations should have no commercials with paid membership. Not sure if that includes the 3-month free membership, but it should.
