All we know is that Zane Lowe will interview Eminem during the radio station's launch, though a specific time and date hasn't been announced. He posted on Twitter a photo of both them chatting in the studio - which indicates the interview is pre-recorded - and said the rapper will be his first interview on Beats 1.

Lowe's segment on Beats 1 is considered the flagship music show. It's supposed to combine his "unparalleled music knowledge with headline interviews and the best new music in the world." Apart from Lowe, two other DJs named Ebro Darden and Julie Adenuga will serve as the creative minds behind Beats 1.
