About This Station

1940sRadio is a UK-based internet radio station dedicated to the music of the 1940s, with a focus on big band, swing, jazz, and blues, as well as crooners. The station’s website presents itself as "The Home of Big Band and Swing" and explores the golden age of these genres, highlighting their rise, their role during World War II, and their lasting influence on popular culture. While the site’s main text is largely historical—covering artists like Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Glenn Miller—it clearly positions the station as a celebration of that era’s sound. Broadcasting in English, the station offers a nostalgic journey for fans of classic 1940s music.
