Zane Lowe: Beats 1 is like a baby – they make a lot of noise and shit everywhere

Ex-BBC Radio 1 DJ says Apple music service he oversees measures its success not by ratings but by the amount of noise it makes

Former BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe has said Apple's new global music service Beats 1, which he oversees, is "like a three-month-old baby. They make a lot of noise " and they shit everywhere".

Lowe, the award-winning presenter who is director of the 24-hour music station that launched to much fanfare in June, said the service measured its success not by ratings but by the amount of noise it generates.
