About This Station

242 Radio is a UK-based station that bills itself as “More Than Just A Number,” promising “music that you only dream nowadays of hearing.” Its schedule is built around a wide range of specialist music shows, spanning soul, blues, rock, folk, pop, and decades-based nostalgia, from the 1960s through the 1980s and beyond. Presenters include familiar names such as Emperor Rosko and Mike Read, with programmes like *The Dave Ellis Soul Show*, *Digital Blues*, *The Folk and Roll Show*, and the *Heritage Chart*. The station broadcasts in English and appears to focus on a mix of classic hits, rare gems, and passionate presenter-led programming rather than a single narrow genre.
