Frequently asked questions about Black Country Xtra live
Black Country Xtra has no place on the dial. It is one of the many British stations that launched as a stream rather than applying to Ofcom for a frequency, which is why specialist formats like this one exist at all — the audience for them is spread too thin for local FM. It plays here with nothing to install.
Commercial radio has to deliver an audience to advertisers, which pushes it towards broad formats. A community station has no such requirement, so it can cover a single town, a single language group or a single genre in a way national radio never would.
Stations built on older music work from a settled catalogue rather than a rotating playlist, which is the point: the songs have already proved they last, and the audience comes precisely because it knows them.
Quite a few. You can browse them all on the England page, or use the genre pages if you are after a particular kind of music rather than a particular area.
Nothing. Radio in the UK is free at the point of listening, and this page simply carries the live feed as broadcast.
