About

Max is Where The 80s Live.

We go deeper into the chart to play a broader mix of the songs that made the decade than the other guys do.

Alongside Human League, you’ll hear Waterfront. Next to Dead or Alive, It’s Immaterial. Madonna rubbing shoulders with Basia. And plenty of North East artists too from Prefab Sprout, Sting, Kane Gang, Pet Shop Boys, Bryan Ferry and Chris Rea.

The Voice of Max is actor Louise Jameson (EastEnders, Tenko, Bergerac, Doctor Who) who appears regularly to jog your eighties memory with thoughts and features.

They include songs from a featured Classic Album each week; 20/20 Eighties Trivia to keep you guessing; and games to play along with like the Telly-gram and the fiendish chart guessing game Maxematics.

You won’t hear the news of today on Max. Instead, re-live the top stories of each day in the 80s, broadcast on the hour. 

And late nights, from 11pm to 3am, lose yourself in the Quiet Storm - 80s tunes to relax and drift off to.

A new kind of radio station with an old kind of music. Whether you were there at the time, or you’re studying for an 80s O-level.

Welcome to Max.
