Apple's iTunes Radio is far from revolutionary and often feels like a "me too" product competing with Slacker, Songza, etc. What makes it so interesting is that it is a free service already built into your device's operating system. 

Like most Apple services, iTunes Radio launched in the US first but Eddy Cue, Apple SVP, has previously said that eventually it will launch in 100 countries but when will we get it in Canada?

Late last week, Apple had a job posting looking for 2 iTunes Radio programmers for Canada.  

"Execute the programming of iTunes Radio in Canada, merchandising new releases and other feature content across multiple radio stations; Update radio featuring daily, identifying new songs, chart gainers, and priority releases, as well as highlighting library content and showcase depth of catalogue; Work with management in Canada and Cupertino to determine local and global priorities relevant to iTunes Radio; Manage the weekly scheduling and programming process, including measuring stream counts, ensuring each station represents the most current and compelling music offering; Collaborate with other editorial programmers on cross content initiatives and promotions. Communicate regularly with the Marketing and Sales team in Canada to coordinate new release and sales based priorities."

The above posting is a fairly strong indication that iTunes Radio is coming to Canada sooner rather than later which hopefully means they managed to sign all the label agreements needed to bring the service up north.

Since these job postings caught the world's attention, Apple has since made the postings more generic by removing all references to iTunes Radio and it now looks more like a generic Canadian iTunes editor. 

Here is hoping we get it before the holiday season.
