iHeart 70s Radio

iHeart 70s Radio belongs to a run of four entries in the U.S. Outlying Islands that share a name and differ by decade. This one takes the seventies, and that is the fact to hold on to when the listing shows you several of them in a row.

iHeart 70s Radio ranks 4 among 19 stations in the U.S. Outlying Islands. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

Two stations in the U.S. Outlying Islands lead with the tag 70s, and iHeart 70s Radio is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

The gap here is large: 24 kbps where the U.S. Outlying Islands' stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

iHeart 70s Radio publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.
