Try this one for deep-playlist UK oldies:

Occasionally, you may get a pop-up telling you the audio from this station is for UK listeners only and a prompt asking for your "post code." Just find a legitimate code (in the format 2AB CD3) in some British address and enter it; the stream will start.

I'd seen this station in the directory on the BBC iPlayer for months and ignored it, figuring it was just a bland adult contemporary station like our "Magic" FMs here. It's not, and it even has request and themed specialty shows (all '60s, all soft, etc.).

Oh, this station is commercial, so you will hear ads during four or five breaks per hour, as well as top-of-the-hour newscasts.

Mal Vincent's Dusty 45s is a station devoted to those pop singles from the 1950 thru 1989, once on radio station playlist across the US that rarely receive any airplay. The majority of these singles are on vynil. Pardon the dust!

This station, created by Slacker Radio, deals with recent “lost” pop hits from the 1980’s-2000’s.

Finally, Logitech has a new update for their SQUEEZEBOX Internet Radios!
This update has a 'work-around' to enable you to listen to about 80% of the Clear Channel stations that you lost when 'iHeartRadio' showed-up and dumped the ability for you to search or listen to your local Clear Channel WMA link, which were shutdown when iHeartRadio showed up.
A cludge - doesn't work on all, but most of the stations that we lost, so thanks for not totally abandoning us Logitech!

per website:

"BullsEye Radio has been on the net for the last 5 years trying to find our spot so to speak. After much bouncing around and jumping from different genre's of music, we have decided to stick with one genre. The genre that started the owner of this station out in radio in the first place . . .the Oldies! Here at BullsEye Radio you will find some of the greatest memories of yesteryear and the best part is that you can hear them all day long, all night long, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! You will not hear any songs past 1989. We will start from as far back as the 20's and go right up through the years to the late 80's. And there we will stop, because music drastically changed during the following years. Some people, many people, believe not for the better. We have some of the most talented people anywhere on the world wide web who DJ for us ! If Oldies are your favorite genre, then you have found the best on the net there is right here! Our logo is and always will remain the same . . . .When you want the best. . . . Aim for the BullsEye!"

Another station that seems to play many of the 70's hits we miss.

Lou's countdown show is the best of it's kind anywhere. However,there are some other countdown shows that are worth checking out.

On Sunday at 10AM(Eastern) Richard Todd does a British Top 40 alternating between the 50s and 80s on Atlantic Oldies. Repeated at 8PM Monday and 12PM Thursday.

Three different countdown shows on Saturday. At 8AM Tony Blackburn features two countdowns in two hours. First hour usually 60s and early 70s. Second hour late 70s through the 90s on BBC 2. Available on the BBC player for a week.

Don Tandler features a radio station chart from the 50s through the 70s on Saturday at 3PM on Pop Gold Radio...anywhere from 40 to 60 songs.

Rick Lewis features a radio station chart from the 50s and 60s on Saturday at 9PM on Ride Radio...anywhere from 40 to 70 songs.Repeated on Top Shelf Oldies Wednesday at 3PM.

The local radio charts are fun to listen to for all the regional hits. Saturdays are quite the day for chart buffs with the addition of Lou's Satellite survey.

Any other chart shows anybody know of?

www. REWOUNDradio.com has not just countdowns, but some unscoped air checks of WOR, WNBC and other NYC stations from the 70's.
They take requests too.

Just discovered this one last week. It's run by a Chicago oldies fan and features decades from the '60s through '90s, claiming it plays every song to hit the Hot 100 from each year. This weekend, the featured year is 1980. It started last night with songs like the Outlaws' "Ghostriders" and Robert John's version of "Hey There , Lonely Girl," and is continuing this morning -- I just heard Olivia Newton-John and Cliff Richard's "Suddenly." From what I understand, the 1980 playlist will repeat through the weekend, then each weekday is devoted to two other years. There's a Sunday request show too.

This Bobby Magic Radio program is great! Professionally done. Good sound quality. It even has REAL '70s commercials (like the old XM did). Thanks for the tip!

"Welcome to the Pleasuredome! Welcome to the Jungle! Welcome to All80s.com! We loved the 80′s. The silly clothes, the goofy hair, the slang, the technology, the price of gas and of course, the music! The 80′s was a decade of rock, punk, techno, pop, and hair bands. The music was all over the place; Lionel Richie, The Clash, Flock Of Seagulls, AC/DC, Prince, Devo, Michael Jackson, Poison, Psychedelic Furs, Madonna, Motley Crue, Phil Collins…and of course all of the one hit wonders. We loved it all and we wanted to bring it to you 24 hours a day, just like when MTV used to play videos 24 hours a day. Plus, every radio station we’ve ever listened to, plays the same 200 songs over and over again. C’mon!! Prince had more hits than just 1999 and Little Red Corvette. All80s.com is your radio station with the largest 80′s music collection on the planet! We hope you enjoy all of the 80′s music and make sure you get your free app, ‘like’ us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. Take a trip ’Back In Time’ to one of the greatest decades ever and enjoy All80s.com. Thanks for listening!!!:
