But unlike other big consumer tech companies, who have launched their own music services before casting them off in favor of partnerships with existing DSPs, LG is doing things a little differently.<\/p>\n<p>The ad-supported audio streaming service is a partnership with the Radioline platform, which will make live radio stations and podcasts available to LG Radio+ users. \u201cThis new service allows users to effortlessly access a diverse selection of podcasts and radio programs,\u201d says LG.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a streamlined user experience, LG Radio+ will work with the <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.lgeha.nuts&#038;hl=en_US\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">LG ThinQ app<\/a>, providing users with a convenient way to access and enjoy their favorite audio content no matter where they are in the room,\u201d the company adds.<\/p>\n<p>The accessibility through the LG ThinQ app will also enable \u201cenjoyable audio streaming on LG audio devices with minimal effort.\u201d Later this year, LG Radio+ will also be available through the \u201cMy\u201d button on xboom speakers.<\/p>\n<h4>Initially offered only in the U.S. and Korea, LG smart TV users can now explore a range of live stations and podcasts. These include popular local stations in Korea; and NPR, CNN Radio, Fox Radio, or The Joe Rogan Experience in the U.S.<\/h4>\n<p>Owners of LG smart TVs in the United States and Korea can access the LG Radio+ app from the Content Store and Apps. They can also access it through the voice search function on their LG Magic Remote.<\/p>\n<p>The platform promises an intuitive interface with a comprehensive channel list containing popular audio channels on the On Air page with a personalized selection of favorites. Despite the company\u2019s announcement focusing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalmusicnews.com\/2024\/12\/06\/spotify-creates-ai-generated-podcast-for-your-wrapped-summary\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">predominantly on talk radio and podcasts<\/a>, music is a big part of the rollout too. The LG Radio+ Featured page will provide a dynamic view of trending music, updated in real-time to highlight popular or seasonal hits.<\/p>\n<p>LG Radio+ currently offers a library of over 14,500 channels in the United States and over 440 in Korea.<\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalmusicnews.com\/2025\/01\/02\/lg-launches-lg-radio-for-smart-tvs\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music Photo Credit: LG Electronics Music LG launches podcast and radio-streaming service LG Radio+ for its smart TVs.
