About This Station

Radio StandBy – The Vintage Style is an Italian radio station with an adult contemporary format, drawing on a vintage-inspired identity. Its website recounts the station's origins in February 1979, when two twenty-year-old students, Giorgio Di Marco and Claudio Sabatini, launched an innovative project aimed at moving beyond the classic dedication-and-request model. The station notably pioneered a sports editorial, collaborating with reporters such as Guido De Angelis and Mimmo Ferretti, and produced programs dedicated to soccer fans, including "Curva Nord" and "Ultrà Roma." While the site's main text is in English, the station is based in Italy, and its name and tags suggest a nostalgic, easy-listening musical direction. Beyond this historical background, the website offers little detail on current programming, so the present-day playlist and language of broadcast can only be inferred from the station's Italian origin and vintage positioning.
