About Absolute 80s

Listen to the internet radio of Absolute 80s live, Absolute Radio’s most popular sister station with a music line-up focused on 80s pop and rock. The station is the most popular among the digitally distributed commercial radios specialising in 80s music. The station is owned by Bauer Radio Ltd. and is a member of the Planet Radio station fleet. Absolute Radio 80s has the so-called "No Repeat Guarantee" in its schedule, which means that no tracks are repeated between 10am and 4pm on weekdays. The guaranteed variety during the day is followed by heightened dynamics at night, when the music selection switches to the faster-paced party atmosphere and dancefloor bangers of the 80s. The broadcaster sets the vibes of the weekday mornings with the "Dave Berry Breakfast Show", led by Dave Berry, bringing the biggest guests, gigs, and the best tunes of the 80s to the air.

Absolute 80s slogan: "The biggest songs from the best decade"
