Report..Apple Hires Top BBC Radio 1 DJ

Zane Lowe
Zane Lowe, the BBC Radio 1 DJ , is leaving the network for Apple’s new iTunes radio service., according to The Guardian.

New Zealander Lowe, credited with helping to make the name of British music stars such as Arctic Monkeys, Adele and Ed Sheeran, is moving to America with his wife and two sons to work at Apple.

His final show in the prestigious evening slot will go out on 5 March. Lowe, who joined the station from XFM in 2003, said: “I want to thank everyone at Radio 1 for their support and friendship.

“The station has allowed me to share incredible music with the country’s best music fans – I’ve loved every minute of it. Exciting times lie ahead.”

Already popular in America and Australia, iTunes Radio is the Apple service designed to allow listeners to set up and customise their own live stream of music, tailored to their likes and dislikes.

In the US, iTunes Radio’s success has been described as underwhelming, but it is claimed it is already bigger than the free download music service Spotify.
