Absolute Radio (well, Virgin Radio until not too long ago) have today launched their new station – Absolute Radio 90′s. Tapping into the demographic that appears to be well, mid-30-somethings like me, the station output so far seems to keep fairly close to those sort of 90′s festival bands from the Britpop era like Oasis, Charlatans and the Manic Street Preachers.
Obviously as the proud new owner of a Sonos S5, I wanted to try and add it as a new station to my setup. After a little bit of picking apart their Javascript player code, the URL for the live stream of the station seems to be:
http://player.absoluteradio.co.uk/core/audio/wmp/live.asx?service=ab9
The station has only been running for a matter of hours, so there’s every chance this may change in the future. Your mileage may vary.
