JOE 70s and 80s

JOE 70s and 80s is a channel of the Dutch station JOE, playing the hits of the 1970s and 1980s non-stop. The programme is a jukebox of pop and rock favourites, with the familiar voices of the era, presented with limited talk. The mood is nostalgic and cheerful, designed for the car, the office and the home.

The Netherlands has a compact but very competitive radio market, with public channels from NPO, national commercial networks and many web stations, and Dutch radio is a useful source of listening practice for learners and a link with home for the Dutch abroad. JOE is a Dutch commercial station aimed at adults who grew up with the hits of the seventies, eighties and nineties. As a commercial service, it carries advertising and promotional messages between programmes. The stream is delivered as AAC+ at 95 kbps, a moderate bitrate that provides a good sound for speech and music while keeping data use modest. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
