This is the stream named for the seventies, one of two the directory lists in the United Kingdom under a single name where each entry takes a decade. The decade is the difference between them and there is no other.
Now 70s is the only station in the United Kingdom whose first tag is 1970s, out of 466 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in the United Kingdom does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only 1970s station.
Worldwide it ranks 7 among 27 1970s entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.
1020 kbps against the United Kingdom's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 69% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.
This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by Now 70s. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at nowmusic.com.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
