ITunes radio: Keep getting " Station name Radio is currently unavailable. Try again later" errors

This is on my Apple TV (Gen 3), all updated. When I play the "Nursery Rhymes" radio station, it'll play one song and then go back to the iTunes Radio screen (out of the station screen). There will be no audio but the 'speaker' icon will be under the Radio station (as if it's playing).
Attempting to play that station again always gives the same error i.e. "Nursery Rhymes Radio is currently unavailable. Try again later".
How can this be fixed? My son gets pretty upset when his station stops working ....

I'm experiencing the same issue. One of my stations fails to play on my Apple TV (Gen 2) with the same message. I tried the following without any success:
• restarting my Apple TV
• logging out of and back into my iTunes account
I *am* able to play that same station from iTunes on my MacBook Pro and send it to the Apple TV via AirPlay, but I can't get it to play straight from the Apple TV.

Apple has been having a number of server issues today and this may be related to that. Give it some time and try again later.

I keep getting the following when I try to connect to Itunes Radio- "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later." I have an excellent strong connection

For over a week,I get the following message everytime I have tried to connect to ITunes Radio..."An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later." My internet connection is excellent & strong & "LATER " has been over a week. Any help or suggestions?? It would be much appreciated, thanks

Somebody suggested clearing the Store cache. I don't know why that would affect the radio. Seems to have not worked for some, worked for a few or maybe they imagined it. Many other posts about this if you browse the forum.
This is happening to some people some of the time in some places, but then not affecting people in other places, or in the same place at different times. You try to guess what is going on. Hasn't happened to me. Maybe it's my iTunes 7.5, or maybe it's luck of the draw since I never use iTunes radio.

Oh, don't expect Apple to say anything about this -- that's not their style.

I have been using iTunes for years to connect to the radio and just recently tried to tune in and an error sign pops up stating " A error occurred while contracting the radio tunning service. Check your internet connection or try again later." There's no problrm with my internet service so what's up?

You are probably using an old version of iTunes with which the stream link service seems to have stopped working for many users of older iTunes. No, Apple makes no comment about this kind of thing. It may reappear, it may not (it has been dead for over a week now). Your solution is to upgrade the operating system version on your computer from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 so you can run a newer iTunes, or live without. You can still open streams if you can get the URL, and you can then save them as playlist items.

Question: I am getting this message from iTunes on my iMac:

Yeaaaah... I just powered up my G3 iMac... iTunes 7 on there... My iTunes on there can't do much. But it's still subscribed to one podcast that's still valid and working. If I try to use the radio, I get this message. I wager they changed urls and the like in the background years ago and this is just so old there's no longer any support for it.

Workaround for "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later."

While Apple tries to figure out what's wrong I came upon a great workaround for those of us that like the radio feature of iTunes. This actually doesn't take long either.
When trying to expand the categories you get the error "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later." This happens enough to think that the service is completely broken. Actually, it seems intermittent. Try clicking it a few times. you WILL GET THROUGH. When you do get there, highlight all of the stations(or just the ones you want), create a playlist (I use the name of the category as I take the entire list), and paste into the playlist. You can then play the stations EVERY TIME from the playlist. Works perfectly.
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what version of iTunes you have or what plugin you have. I have seen this on over 600 computers - Windows & MAC - and the workaround is 100%.
Let me know how you make out. And, PLEASE SHARE THIS FIX!!!

Yes indeed, this workaround was posted a few days ago at https://discussions.apple.com/message/17739684

Hi, Kenny.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple things that I would recommend trying. Try closing all open applications and power cycle the device. Next, go through the section labeled Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the second article below. If the issue persists, try completely signing out of the iTunes Store on the iOS device and sign back in. Be sure to test downloading an application after each step.
iOS: Force an app to close

The Wireless connection is FINE and the INTERNET and E-Mail work fine.
The RADIO has worked for over a year with NO PROBLEM and this JUST STARTED 2 Days ago,
HELP!

Have you read the other several hundred posts about this over the past few days? Do any of their suggestions help?
Report the issue to Apple (this is just a user assistance forum with other users like you) since it is posssibly something at their end:
