Frequently asked questions about Hot Radio live
No — Hot Radio broadcasts over the internet only, so there is no frequency to find on a set. That is a deliberate trade: an online station skips the cost of a broadcast licence and reaches the whole country from day one, but it needs a connection at the listener's end. Press play above and it runs in the browser.
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.
It is a distinct licence category in the UK, created by Ofcom for stations serving a specific place or community. They are not-for-profit, run largely by volunteers, and required to demonstrate social benefit rather than audience share.
Yes. The stream is open and there is nothing to configure, so Hot Radio plays the same from anywhere. The only thing to watch is the time difference if you are following a particular programme.
Free, with no subscription and no paid tier. British radio is funded either by advertising or, in the BBC's case, by the licence fee — either way, listening costs the listener nothing.
