DAB Digital Radio

Back in the 1980s you probably had your Sony Walkman and a selection of cassette tapes with those slightly uncomfortable and tinny headphones to listen to your favourite songs.

Today you can enjoy the best 80s songs on DAB Digital radio in selected areas of the UK:

Brighton & Hove:

You can now listen to 80s Rhythm and find us in your channel listing if you live in Brighton, Hove, Shoreham, Southwick, Portslade, Mile Oak, Patcham, Hangleton, Lancing, Withdean, Whitehawk, Kemptown. You may also get reasonable reception towards Worthing and parts of Goring.

Portsmouth & Southsea:

You can find us in your digital radio’s channel listing if you live in Portsmouth, Southsea, Gosport, Hayling Island, Portchester, Cosham, Waterlooville, Fareham. You may also get reasonable reception towards Chichester, West Wittering, Bosham and Selsey.



Would you like us to broadcast to your area? If so, let us know using the support 80s Rhythm page, telling us your name, location and first part of your postcode. This will enable us to build a database of support to help expand to other areas.

We broadcast using the DAB+ method so you’ll need a compatible DAB digital radio to listen to our station. Older radios may show us on the channel list but you won’t hear any sound because they can’t receive the newer style DAB+ stations. To guarantee the best selection of digital radio channels look for a DAB with the Digital Radio tick mark.

Of course, if you’re not in an area already covered by our DAB+ transmissions you can still listen to us online using our web player, or the radioplayer app.
