About Boom Radio UK
Boom Radio UK is a national commercial radio station built specifically for baby boomers, the generation born between 1946 and 1964. It launched on Valentine’s Day 2021, which feels deliberate for a station trying to win over an audience that grew up with music as a shared experience. It broadcasts across the UK on the Sound Digital DAB multiplex and streams free online.
The station is independent, owned by Boom Radio Ltd, and its entire identity is shaped around that boomer demographic. That means the music, the tone, and the conversation are aimed at people who were teenagers or young adults during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, not the generation currently dominating mainstream radio. If you’ve found most UK commercial radio drifting toward a younger audience, this is a deliberate correction to that.
The online stream runs at 256 kbps in AAC, which is a solid quality for digital listening. You can tune in through the official site at boomradiouk.com or through any DAB radio in the UK.
