Something is in the air, maybe a website launch and/or flac stream. Either way, it’s great news. Thanks for the heads up Paul.

XRadio Non Stop (from the Netherlands) which had flac and aac streams seems to be non-stop no more i.e. it’s kaput. The streams are still valid but no broadcast for a while.
Totally agree on RP, especially for great artist finds. Eclectic mix usually for me…

Was there an announcement from them?
No not yet - still ready
Looks like TMEFolk Radio, the flac stream, has gone. The website has disappeared too (not that it was updated) and the TMEFolk link from its sister site has been removed.
TME.fm Radio, the sister site, continues in mp3/320 playing Americana, folk and country.

It must be difficult to get traction broadcasting only one month a year.
I had it in my station list but removed as I thought it was defunct!
It runs on a Restricted Service Licence and has done every May since 1993. This is the first year it’s not on FM, too expensive for a not for profit volunteer run station.

A month ago JB Radio2 told us to “get ready”. Not sure if it related to the flac stream but they had previously indicated it was coming back but no ETA. We are still waiting.

“Radio listening declined in UK during pandemic” as reported by High Resolution Audio see
Radio listening declined in UK during pandemic - High Resolution Audio (hiresaudio.online)
I was surprised by this but it is due (amongst other things) to reduced car listening and increased YouTube video watching.
Hey,
I quite like Planet Rock, UK. It’s limited on regions it can be listened to. If you pay the £3.99 subscription fee then AAC 192kbit MPEG4 is available on Planet Rock, Kerrang!, Scala Classical and Jazz FM. The Planet Rock and Kerrang feeds are messed up audio wise by some horrible desk bus compression and EQ, but better than the free MP3 feeds. Typically listen to the Danny Bowes (Thunder) show and Joe Elliot (Def Leppard) shows. Old school, but nice school.
Best
Steve
