Ten years after the launch of the original game-changer Absolute 80s, we launch Absolute Radio 10s which anticipates a new listener need. This brand-new radio station will offer the very best music from the latest decade from the much-loved and trusted Absolute Radio brand, partnered with high-quality programming made possible using our unique playlist option technology.”
Commenting on launch, Absolute Radio Breakfast Show presenter, Dave Berry said:
“I’m like the Dr Who of radio as the only breakfast presenter at the helm of parallel universes. My one live show is now partnered with no fewer than eight playlists to give listeners their favourite songs, no matter what their favourite decade is or what mood they’re in, I’m Jumping Jack Flash in the 60s, I’m Into the Groove in the 80s…I’m on Fire in the 10s!”
Absolute Radio 10s is available from 10am on Monday 18 November online, via apps and smart speakers.
