Gold

Gold London is the London stream of Gold, the Global station playing the hits of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The playlist concentrates on well-known classic pop and rock, with chart favourites that many British listeners grew up with, from Motown and Beatles-era pop to disco, glam and eighties synth-pop. The sound is familiar and comforting, with presenter chat, travel updates and short news breaks between songs.

The United Kingdom has one of the most developed radio markets in the world, with the BBC, large commercial groups and a growing number of online-only stations, and British radio is heard by listeners far beyond the country through the internet. It belongs to Global, the group behind Capital, Heart, Smooth, Classic FM, LBC and Gold. As a commercial service, it carries advertising and promotional messages between programmes. The stream is delivered as AAC at 48 kbps, a very low bitrate that keeps data use minimal and is adequate for speech, although the sound is thin and not suited to music. This is a low-bandwidth stream that uses very little data. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
