TuneIn is an American application and website that makes it easy to discover new stations anywhere in the world through an easy-to-understand visual interface. Indeed, it presents us with a terrestrial globe à la Google Maps on which all the radio stations appear at the place from which they broadcast their waves.

The world map format and the various filters offered (language or type of program, for example) help to discover the diversity of radio programs around the world. Although TuneIn has been around for over twenty years, the new GUI was only released for the world radio day.

TuneIn is available on Windows and macOS, but it comes at a price. After a 30-day free trial period, you will have to pay €8.69 per month or €86.98 per year to continue enjoying the application. For this price, customers will have access to more than 100,000 international radio stations and podcasts, with continuous information with “fewer commercials”. Mobile applications should also benefit from the new Google Maps interface, but TuneIn did not give a date for them.
