TBH i'm not too impressed, stream sounds horrid and some of the tracks played sound very poor (barry briggs sideshow is on at the moment and it sounds speeded up and crackly like a poor vinyl rip) I'll stick with Big L or atlantic oldies 2NG for my oldies fix
I’ve listened a few times and the music is not particularly to my taste but I’m sure there are a lot of folks who will love the music format which does have the Caroline feel about it.
I imagine the station is operating on a “test transmission” basis and will no doubt need to have more programs with presenters rather the non-stop music format currently.
Sadly, the Roger “Twiggy” Day Uncool Radio show is a huge disappointment for me especially as he was a bit of a radio hero for me. The show seems tired and rather boring and personally I can’t detect anything uncool about the show in any way.
I’ve not listened to Dave Foster on Flashback and I’m sure his show is up to his usual very standards. He is certainly a brilliant presenter.
I wish the new station success but I suspect it will inevitably only cater to a very few “watery wireless” types as without an FM or DAB platform it will struggle to find a wider audience in a similar way as per her parent station Radio Caroline.
I've just been listening for about 2 hours I think it's very good I have sent an email to them I hope they keep the stream going, One small blip though they played Russ Conway oh well you can't like every track can you?:D
He was 70 in March, but wont admit its time to retire.
Its interesting how the number of posts to his message board have dropped.

Thanks .
However all it does is open up Winamp.
A bit pointless really.
So I will stick with yourmuze.fm
Much simpler
Peter said mid day
That got it playing on the Samsung TV Tunein app. Thanks
Still get the error message when trying to listen on the Tunein website though. Not that it's a problem, because I can listen other ways on my PC.
Flashback hope to have a schedule some time
The earlier broadcast fired up early by mistake.
Enjoy all the new jingles :-) and the return of Tom Bowne's old Top 20 theme Brother b CCS!
Tom Bowne??
Ken Dodd !!!!!
He was in the Big L Fab 40 5 times. The two other records that were in the Caroline charts were released before Big L came on air.
have to a agree its a real breath of fresh air music wise, enjoying tracks that I had almost forgot along with the classics.
Sound quality better tonight than the weekend.
like the jingles .
would be good to have some presenters like the excellent Caroline North last year.
Do you miss Roger Day every Day.
Or Dave Foster on Saturdays.

So this is an old Staffords World.
Not one made for Flashback
Maybe to some but, not to the majority of Caroline Flashback/Uncool Radio listeners, it seems.

I used to love listening to him but have to agree he just sounds bored
I have tried on mine without success.
