Digital radio

[Wozzawasp]

I've discovered "Our kind of music" on digital radio. This gives 24 hours of uninterrupted music from the 30's, 40's & 50's --- Ella, Nat King Cole, Sinatra, big bands, show tunes etc. No adverts, but a slightly irritating regular announcement that "This is our kind....". Nevertheless very enjoyable for my generation BUT who funds it?

Which radio station is it? It sounds wonderful .

Hello Greenfingers It has to be a DAB radio and you then just scroll through the stations to find 'Our kind of music'. Can't tell you any more ---- complete tecnophobe.

Thanks a lot I'll give it a try. I tend to listen to BBC Radio Seven a lot. All those old comedy shows and some decent plays.

Looks like you can listen to it on the web too, go here and press Listen Live:

Sounds great can't get it in my neck of the woods even the very useful web site provided by vehelpfulguy does not play live on air very good.
Why with all the stations that the BBC have, could they not reserve one for this kind of music? They cater for the young with endless stations blaring out pop-music, and even specially dedicated classical stations. Then why could they not provide a station to broadcast 30s-40s-50s music? After all we have paid a licence fee for long enough.

Sorry to hear that you can't get "Our kind.....", anotheroldgit.

I certainly agree with you about the BBC, BUT yoof is all today, innit!
