Frequently asked questions about International Rare Groove live
International Rare Groove 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.
Yes, and increasingly. British R&B, grime and afroswing have their own scenes and their own charts, and stations working in this territory generally give domestic artists real weight rather than treating them as an afterthought.
Stations in this format usually move across eras rather than picking one — swing, bebop, cool, soul-jazz and modern British jazz sit alongside each other. International Rare Groove programmes in that tradition.
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.
Less than most people expect. Streaming International Rare Groove runs at roughly 30 to 60 MB an hour depending on the bitrate, well below video.
