Absolute Radio Country... The Ultimate Collection

Product Information

In March 2021, Ofcom approved Bauer's application for permission to alter the FM licence held by the London FM relay of Absolute Radio, enabling the frequency to be used to provide a London variant of Greatest Hits Radio. Absolute Radio 40s was a pop-up station in May 2020, which celebrated the 75th anniversary of VE Day.

With Rod Stewart, David Bowie and Prince as highlights of the station's broadcast, it plays music originating from the 1970s. From landmark documentaries to intimate live sessions, from festival exclusives to specialist programming.I lived in Dublin for a while and I could access Absolute there on the app, I was away for a short break in Paris recently and it's there too, anywhere I go on holiday, it's there. DJs are clearly instructed to talk incessantly about the app, jingles nag constantly about the app, and 'standard' advertising the app is then jammed on top!

The station closed on AM at midnight on Friday 20 January 2023, with " Absolute Beginners" by David Bowie being the last ever song being broadcast on its AM frequencies. Based on a number of Rock Star Babylon stories by former Now Show comedian Jon Holmes, the series featured the voices of Shaun Keaveny, Jon Culshaw and Jake Yapp. Now, Tim will bring these listening parties to podcasts as he celebrates records alongside some of his favourite artists. Remember that the existing Premium content are mood playlists, so they could easily reach 20 by playlisting content based on mood. Sadly despite my initial fervour that I'd at last found a UK country radio station that played a good mix of music.Get your Absolute Radio fix in the recommends feed, which highlights all the best shows, competitions, tickets and events in one place.
