December 23rd 2022 update: New links have been added above, they should work in all regions now


This does not imply that we support all the views of the station, but we should have the opportunity to hear other viewpoints, if the feeds cut out occasionally, just refresh the browser page. Radio Sputnik is the successor to the Voice of Russia and Radio Moscow which used to have shortwave broadcasts. Clearly it was a mistake to rely on the Internet and close the HF outlets. 

This applies to many countries who abandoned their shortwave transmitters, in particular Radio Nederland Wereldomroep (RNW) which was a fairly neutral broadcaster. This was very noticeable during the time of the "troubles" on the island of Ireland where news about the civil war was broadcast while the BBC remained silent.



If you visit the radio streaming sites available in Russia, all the BBC stations Radio 1-4 and LBC are freely available to listen to. You can also access the site directly via  Sputnik News the excellent free VPN from Proton  .The RT News App for Android is available here download, click to install, allow software from other sources in the phone/TV settings. The best way to watch RT.Com is currently via Odysee  RT.com itself is now blocked in the UK and the app has ceased to work.

Well we made it with the help of our friends at Ten Sixtyfive Overdrive, Skyport Radio made the first full RF broadcast since the end of 1982, on 106.5MHz in the North West of England, Mark King presented several hours of old and some new music to commemorate our first broadcast made on 25th December 1971 which was on 7405KHz in the 41 metre band. Our anniversary broadcast was live from 1600-2100 GMT on 106.5MHz with a power of 30W covering Liverpool, Chester, Crewe and probably further afield.  From 1971-1982 Skyport Radio carried on almost weekly broadcasts on the 48 and 41 metre bands with then many thousands of listeners across Europe.  We are following this up with further transmissions with our new DJ's; Lord Dialup and Winkel.
