Visited TuneIn this morning and found a few iHeartRadio stations that had been long removed from the service and had not even displayed were displaying with full logos and, much like with Apple Music, "iHeartRadio station" was displaying underneath them. I noticed a few missing, but most iHeartRadio properties were displaying wherever I checked. When I actually tried playing them, I still got the message that the stations were unavailable.
Is Hell freezing over and iHeart considering adding its stations to TuneIn, or is TuneIn listing the iHeart stations for another reason, like, maybe, to direct people wanting to hear those stations to its own proprietary streams? Around this time three years ago, the Cumulus stations began popping up on TuneIn after a roughly six year absence in a similar manner. If they appeared in your station list at all, you just saw a pair of headphones. Then, they suddenly started showing updated logos, some of which were obviously not holdovers from 2012. About a month later, almost every Cumulus station appeared on the platform.
Also, I'm no longer seeing the preset groups on TuneIn like I've seen for the last roughly 10 years. When I go to my favorites, I see all of them lumped together. I can't select them based on genre, like I had previously set them up.
