ITunes Radio, which was announced in 2013, will no longer be free from the end of January, Apple said in statement.
The ad-supported service, available only in the United States and Australia, will be folded into Apple Music, which costs $9.99 a month.
Beats 1, the global 24/7 radio station, will now be the free music option for listeners.
