Independent radio from the south coast

M1 Radio is one of many small internet stations run by music lovers who want to share their own selections with the world. Based in Southampton and streaming through online platforms such as Zeno, it can be heard anywhere, from Hampshire to Tokyo. Stations like this have become popular because they offer something different from the big commercial networks: a personal playlist, a particular passion and the freedom to mix genres that rarely meet on mainstream radio.

What you will hear

The M1 Radio playlist centres on pop music. Current Top 40 hits sit alongside the big pop songs of the 2000s, from girl groups and boy bands to the dance-pop anthems that filled the charts, and J-pop adds a distinctive flavour, with upbeat Japanese pop tracks that will appeal to fans of anime, games and Japanese culture. Because the station is music-led, it works well as background music for working, studying, gaming or relaxing, and the mix of styles keeps things interesting throughout the day.
