Q: Can iTunes internet radio add sub-categories?
The Religious category is so large it is unmanageable. It is about 3 times larger than almost all other categories with 1,540 streams. Finding what you want is very difficult. We need sub categories for the listener. For instance, since the streams are largely Christian and Muslim, divisions into “Christian” and “Muslim” and thirdly “Various” would help listeners a lot. A further breakdown into “Spoken Word” and “Music” would be a great help. Those that want to hear the Koran or the Bible or just music, could find what they want quickly. What would it take for Apple to implement this change?
VIN, MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

In the meantime, if you want to only show your favorite Internet Radio station (the ones you listen to most), you can create a playlist in iTunes, and add Internet Radio stations to it (like you would add songs). You can create multiple playlists based on different genres or other characteristics. That gives you direct access to those stations, without scrolling through the complete list.
