About Ancient FM
Ancient FM is a Canadian internet radio station built around music from the medieval, Renaissance, and ancient eras, streaming free online at 128 kbps MP3 through ancientfm.com.
The programming sits well outside what most radio stations will touch. While the rest of the dial cycles through chart pop or classic rock, Ancient FM plays music that predates the printing press, folk traditions that survived centuries of oral transmission, and early classical works that most listeners have never heard on the radio at all. It broadcasts in both English and French, which fits the Canadian context, though the music itself largely speaks a language older than either.
If you landed here looking for background music that isn’t the same playlist shuffled for the hundredth time, this is probably worth a listen. Hit play on the site and it streams directly in your browser, no account needed.
