About Angel Radio
Angel Radio is a community radio station based in Havant, Hampshire, made especially for older listeners. It plays vintage music and brings back happy memories for lovers of nostalgia, with request shows, quizzes and friendly conversation. On this page you can listen to Angel Radio live online for free.
Radio for the older generation
Angel Radio launched in 1999 to bring music and memories into the homes of older people, at a time when most other stations were concentrating on much younger listeners. It was the brainchild of Tony Smith, an electrician, art and design technician and former pirate radio operator, who believed older people deserved a station of their own. Today Angel Radio is a registered charity run by more than seventy volunteers, most of them aged over sixty, and it has become a much-loved part of community life along the south coast.
What you will hear
Angel Radio's music comes from a remarkable span of years, from around 1900 to 1969. That means music hall songs, dance bands and big bands, wartime favourites, crooners, jazz, skiffle and early rock and roll, the songs of Vera Lynn, Bing Crosby, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard and The Beatles. Many recordings come from treasured 78rpm shellac records. Daily request shows, quizzes and memory-jogging conversation keep listeners involved, and local information helps people stay connected to their community. For many listeners, especially those living alone, the station is a valued friend.
