A:

Which version of Apple TV? As I understand it iTunes Radio is now only available with an Apple Music subscription and requires Apple TV 4, an iOS device running iOS 9 or later, or a computer running iTunes 12.2 or later. You can stream to Apple TV from a computer or iOS device.

    So my iTunes Radio was missing from Apple TV and I was confused.  Then I learned it's now only available with a $10.00 a month subscription and I was sad .  Now I need to figure out an alternative because I'm angry .  Why not leave services as they were to make your customers happy

    The service known as iTunes Radio was ad-supported. Since Apple has scaled back their iAd network efforts, they pulled ad-supported radio. So the only way to get iTunes Radio (now known as Apple Music Radio) is to become a member of Apple Music.


    Once you're a member of Apple Music, you can access Radio on supported devices like iOS, Mac/PC with iTunes, and Apple TV (4th Generation). Apple TV (3rd Generation) doesn't offer Apple Music at all (including Radio functionality).
