Sonos Radio update brings new free live stations to smart speakers, with guest presenters including Thom Yorke and David Byrne

Sonos has launched a new radio service, allowing people to stream music for free. It is the first time that Sonos has offered a music service of its own on its smart speakers, which until now have played music from other streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music. The new radio service sits alongside those streaming platforms, which will continue to work in the same way as before. It is available now through a software update that can be installed using the Sonos app. It integrates traditional radio programming on news, music and sport from other radio stations, taken from partners such as TuneIn.
