Apple’s [iTunes Radio](https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-radio/ "undefined") now features NPR as a streaming station, with [a blog post on NPR’s site](http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2014/03/24/293750337/starting-today-find-npr-shows-and-newscasts-on-itunes-radio "undefined") mentioning that content will be streaming 24-hours a day. [Re/code reports](http://recode.net/2014/03/24/itunes-radio-gets-news-radio-via-npr/ "undefined") that what’s being streamed is a mish-mash of “live news with segments from prerecorded shows.” [Here’s the link](https://itunes.apple.com/us/station/idra.840950253 "undefined") to open NPR in iTunes — NPR’s blog post adds that the iTunes Radio stream will get additional content from member stations later this spring.
