Apple to stream live the WWDC event, Drake and Pharrell lined up as iTunes Radio guest DJs
Remember when Drake and Pharrell were caught in the act wearing Apple Watch on their hands two weeks before the gizmo was actually released for the general public on April 24th? This should have been a hint about the special relationship they are forging with Apple, and today's rumor comes to confirm the artists' partnership with the world's richest company.
Drake and Pharrell are reportedly lined up to be guest DJs for the upcoming iTunes Radio subscription streaming service, adding to a host of other celebrity performers like David Guetta. Apple is expected to unveil a new streamer that the WSJ reported will charge $10 a month for playing anything from the vast catalog of tunes that the company has amassed over the years. Rumor is that Apple will offer the first three months free, for anyone who would like to test the waters, and then the subscription fee will kick in.
The WWDC developer conference is next Monday, and Apple is widely expected to announce its music streaming service then. We can reasonably expect a great show with a lot of performers, too, extolling the virtues of iTunes Radio, so we can't wait to tune in for the festivities. The event will be streamed live from the Moscone Center at 10am PT on June 8th, judging from the Apple Events Channel that was up again today on Apple TV, as you can see from the screenshot below.
