There are many aggregators of radio, such as TuneIn, iHeart, Radio.com and others. Google is the first to do this with all the free channels from the various TV services. Those services, like Tubi will still control which channels they have on their service. This should also bring competitors to match the Google service. Smart TV manufacturers could do this with newer sets and possibly a download available to Smart tvs currently in operation.

The article mentions that other tv devices will be able to download their app, later this year.
