About Boom Radio
Boom Radio is a national station made for the baby boomer generation, playing the music they grew up with and presented by familiar voices who share their memories. It has quickly become one of the great success stories of British digital radio. On this page you can listen to Boom Radio live online for free.
A station for the boomer generation
Boom Radio launched on 14 February 2021, founded by experienced radio executives who felt that older listeners were being overlooked by mainstream stations. Rather than chasing younger audiences, Boom set out to serve people born roughly between the end of the Second World War and the mid-1960s, with music, humour and conversation that speak directly to them. Its audience grew rapidly, and it now reaches listeners across the UK on DAB digital radio and online.
What you will hear
The Boom playlist is built around the soundtrack of the boomer years: 1960s pop and Motown, 1970s rock, soul and singer-songwriters, and the big hits of the early 1980s, from The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Supremes and Simon & Garfunkel to Elton John, Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Wonder. Many presenters are well-known names from British radio's golden years, and they bring warmth, wit and personal stories to their shows. The station mixes music with features, listener messages and gentle humour, and it often goes beyond the obvious hits to play album tracks and forgotten gems.
