Absolute Radio 80s

Absolute Radio 80s belongs to a run of two entries in the United Kingdom that share a name and differ by decade. This one takes the eighties, and that is the fact to hold on to when the listing shows you several of them in a row.

Out of 466 entries in the United Kingdom, this one ranks 53. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Where the United Kingdom's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

Its audio comes from stream-ar.hellorayo.co.uk. Three other stations in the United Kingdom stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

Absolute Radio 80s publishes at hellorayo.co.uk. The domain's country code is not the country the directory files the station under, which happens often enough with hosted stations and diaspora broadcasters to be unremarkable, and is still a difference this page will point out rather than hide.
