About BlackLight Radio

Where the 80s live — all day, every day.

BlackLight Radio is an internet-only radio station, streaming in stereo 24/7 from Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA — for over 15 years and counting.

🎶 What We Play

Our library is made up exclusively of music recorded, released, or having charted during the 1980s. We started with the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles from 1980 through 1989 — over 1,000 tracks — ensuring you never hear the same song twice in a 36-hour period.

We've since expanded our rotation to include:

• Deep album cuts
• Concert recordings & parodies
• B-sides, rarities & unreleased gems
• Soundtrack favorites, novelty songs, and genre crossovers

Our programming celebrates all genres that hit the 1980s mainstream — from pop rock to metal, rap to country, Broadway to bubblegum. If it charted in the 80s, it belongs on BlackLight.

🧠 Who Curates It?

Our Music Advisory Board is made up of over a dozen 80s superfans. Every week, they review new submissions and vote on adds, drops, and tweaks to keep the playlist fresh and nostalgic.

📡 Our Philosophy

We call it “All of the 80s, All of the Time.” We sound like the best 80s FM station you’ve never had — but always wanted. Curated by superfans, and static-free worldwide. Every song is part of a meticulously built experience — designed to reconnect you with a decade loved across generations.
