Frequently asked questions about Playback UK live
No — Playback UK 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 in this format usually run mixed sets rather than three-minute singles, because the music is built to be beat-matched and a set needs room to develop. That length is exactly what commercial daytime radio cannot accommodate, and it is why so much dance radio in Britain moved online.
Yes — the directory groups stations both by nation or region and by genre, so you can look for something in National specifically or for the same format elsewhere in the country.
An hour of Playback UK costs roughly 30 to 60 MB. For comparison, standard-definition video can use that in a few minutes.
Either a brief drop in your connection or a restart at the station's end. If other stations on this site play normally and only Playback UK does not, the source feed is the likely cause.
