About Boom Light
Boom Light is the easy-listening sister station of Boom Radio, made for baby boomers and anyone who loves the gentle sounds of the 1950s and the early 1960s. It plays classic crooners, easy listening favourites and timeless songs, presented with warmth and nostalgia. On this page you can listen to Boom Light live online for free.
A lighter side of Boom
Boom Radio launched in February 2021 and quickly became one of the great success stories of British digital radio by serving an audience that other stations had overlooked. Boom Light followed in August 2022 as a spin-off, offering a softer, more relaxed sound focused on the music of the 1950s and easy listening. In June 2025 it officially launched on a number of DAB+ multiplexes across the UK, bringing it to many more listeners. Like Boom Radio, it is built around familiar presenters and music that speaks directly to its audience.
What you will hear
Boom Light plays easy listening and 1950s favourites from artists such as Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Dean Martin, Rosemary Clooney, Matt Monro and Andy Williams, along with gentle pop, ballads and show tunes from the early 1960s. The mood is calm and nostalgic, perfect for a quiet afternoon, a relaxing evening or keeping someone company at home. Presenters share memories and stories about the songs and stars, and listener messages add a personal touch.
