Watching shows or movies has always been the main activity for the television to be the centrepiece of home entertainment. LG is reimagining how we use our TV’s by introducing LG Radio+ today, a new ad supported streaming service, which delivers music, podcasts and live radio right into your living room. LG Radio+ brings a new way to enjoy audio entertainment without relying on additional services provided in the LG Store.
What Is LG Radio+?
LG Radio+ versatility, its users can enjoy music from the gigantic library of the service, podcasts, and live radio stations succinctly without needing to download anything or do extra installations. Developed in partnership with Radioline, the service provides access to over 14,500 channels in the United States and more than 440 channels in South Korea, offering a wide array of content, including:
- Music
- News
- Sports
- The Joe Rogan Experience and talk shows like it.
- Local radio stations
Key Features of LG Radio+
Easy Navigation
Designed with user convenience, LG Radio+ is. Its intuitive interface includes:
- Popular live channels have an On-Air page.
- An exploration of trending shows and similar content on a Podcast page.
- A Featured page that features real-time trending music.
LG ThinQ Integration
In connection with the LG ThinQ app, LG Radio+ controls the LG ThinQ app. You can switch stations, play, decrease or increase volume, or skip tracks without using your TV remote.
Future Expansion
The company aims to bring LG Radio+ functionality across all its Xboom speakers in 2025 so they can access the service simply by pressing the ‘My’ button on their speaker.
How to Access LG Radio+
You can find the LG Radio+ app on your LG Smart TV via:
- The Content Store
- The Apps section
- I quickly searched for the AU OTA update using the LG Magic remote.
Once installed, you can enjoy a selection of music, podcasts, and live radio stations.
Subscription-Free, ad-supported Entertainment
LG Radio+ is free to use but does utilize ads. The trade off no longer needs an additional subscription and is therefore a cheaper option than other services like Spotify or Pandora.
Availability
LG Radio+ is currently available in South Korea and the US. LG has not publicly revealed plans to expand the service to other regions or explain when there will be other features, such as Xboom speaker integration.
Why LG Radio+ Stands Out
LG Radio+ has nothing to do with just another streaming service; it reimagines a TV’s role in home entertainment. It is a multi-functional entertainment hub, providing access to thousands of live channels, trending music and popular podcasts to transform your Smart TV.
ThinQ app control and forthcoming Xboom speaker compatibility, the potential for LG Radio+ to become a part of your household increases with every innovation.
If you are an LG Smart TV user, however, you now have the opportunity to use the LG Radio+ app and turn your TV into one convenient point of entry for all your audio entertainment.
