This is a podcast for anyone who believes we can all improve… but at the end of the day we’re only human. Bauer launched a subscription streaming service for Absolute Radio and KISS, [145] which included five new advert-free radio services under the Absolute Radio brand, alongside the original ten Absolute Radio channels. The Radio Authority was mandated to award three INR licences, one of which (INR1) had to be for a "non-pop" station (which was awarded to Classic FM), and one of which had to be for a predominantly speech-based service (this would be advertised later as INR3 and would be awarded to Talk Radio). It broadcasts nationally across the UK via digital audio broadcasting and was on 1215 kHz MW until the closure of medium wave transmissions on 20 January 2023. You can find here the schedule of Absolute Radio Country one week ahead, and the related important information, like the name of the presenters and the teasers of the programmes.

In February 2021 Bauer applied to Ofcom for permission to amend the FM broadcast licence to allow the frequency to be used for a London relay of Greatest Hits Radio; Absolute Radio will remain available in London through its retained digital outlets. The Absolute Radio family of stations is made up of Absolute Radio, Absolute Classic Rock, Absolute Radio Country, Absolute Radio 60s, Absolute Radio 70s, Absolute 80s, Absolute Radio 90s, Absolute Radio 00s, Absolute Radio 10s and Absolute 20s. If that wasn’t enough, they also have thousands of hours of on-demand comedy programming on their podcast channels too, enjoyed by millions every year. Dave Berry and Matt Dyson wake up our listeners every morning, and on top of having the biggest guests and greatest gigs, Breakfast Show listeners will continue to enjoy UK radio’s first ever tailored music service.

In each episode Gemma’s joined by an expert who helps us make sense of some of the curve balls life can throw. We did something we should never do: pursue critical acclaim, playing obscure tracks, gaining the praise of the music press.This service ceased on 1 July 2001 in anticipation of Sky's cessation of its analogue satellite service.
