‘What on earth is this?’ I said to myself having accidentally come across the station whilst going through the DAB dial. ‘This sounds like a station I could listen to’ albeit from time to time as the music-based programmes outweighed the speech-based ones in terms of my preference.
StedroyI need to salute the person who compiled all that wonderful classic soul. Who did this?
SoniaYou asked. We answered.

Online streams have a small delay (about 5 seconds) due to internet processing, which is perfectly normal for all digital stations.
