Classic 21 Route 66

RTBF Classic 21 Route 66 is a country and Americana channel from Belgium's French-language public broadcaster RTBF. It is a thematic stream of the Classic 21 network, which is known for classic rock, and it follows the highway of American roots music, with country, folk, blues-tinged rock, Americana and singer-songwriter material. The name refers to the famous US road that crosses the country from Chicago to Los Angeles, a symbol of the journey and of the music associated with it.

Classic 21 is a respected station in Belgium for its knowledgeable presenters and its love of rock history, and the Route 66 channel brings that approach to country and related styles. As a public broadcaster, RTBF carries no regular commercial advertising on its services, so the stream flows without commercial breaks. Announcements, where they occur, are in French, and the songs are mostly in English, which makes it a pleasant listen for people anywhere who enjoy the genre.
