Frequently asked questions about R5K Radio live
R5K Radio 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.
Dance is a wide church and British radio splits it finely: house, garage, drum and bass, techno and jungle all have their own audiences here, and each carries a distinct history. R5K Radio works within that territory rather than the chart-dance crossover that daytime radio tends to play.
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.
The station's own site, linked further up this page, carries its schedule. We deliberately do not reproduce timetables here, because they go out of date quickly and a wrong one is worse than none.
Reload the page first, which resolves it most of the time. If it still will not start, the station may be restarting its own server — that clears on its own within a few minutes and is nothing to do with this site.
