ooh, nineteen-eighty-four (thanks George, thanks Annie and Dave) is a member of that exclusive club. For the sake of sanity, let’s just say that any year with the name eighty in it, like nineteen-eighty, or um. Is 1980 actually the last year of the seventies? Mmm, moot point. I cannot get my head around what the proper definition of the 80s is.

I hope that this website will become a sort of Rough Guide to the 1980s… If the past is another country, then it’s North Korea. By the time the 90s rolled into town, I was a slightly more mature University student – well I was shaving by then! What went on in between (obviously?) went a long way to making me what I am now. 80s Music – UK Christmas number 1 singlesĪt the beginning of the eighties, I was a ten-year-old schoolboy.80s Music – UK Singles Charts number 2’s.The surplus capacity vacated by this move was used the following day to add another sibling, Heart 90s in DAB+. On 28 August 2019, the station switched its Digital One service from broadcasting in mono using DAB to a stereo service in the DAB+ standard. Shortly after its launch it replaced Heart Extra on television platforms. The station broadcasts nationally on Digital One DAB and online alongside the existing Heart extra service. At other times, the station is mostly an automated service. It has its own dedicated live breakfast show, hosted by Roberto, 6–10 am weekdays and 8 am – noon each Saturday. Launched on 14 March 2017, Heart 80s is a rolling music service playing non-stop “feel good” music from the 1980s. The station broadcasts from studios at Leicester Square in London. Heart 80s is a national digital radio station owned and operated by Global as a spin-off from Heart.
