Absolute Radio 70s

Absolute Radio 70s explores the 1970s through the Absolute Radio brand's emphasis on recognisable songs and band-led music. Rock and pop are central to the station, with the decade's distinctive guitar sounds, strong melodies and larger-than-life performances shaping its character.

Sophie K and Jennie Longdon present the daytime No Repeat Guarantee, which promises that a song heard during the advertised workday window will not return within it. Dave Berry supplies the breakfast programme, and Andy Bush with Richie Firth host Hometime. The station therefore pairs its seventies music with familiar Absolute personalities rather than running only as an unpresented collection of old records.

Blondie, David Bowie and Queen are central reference points in the broadcaster's description of the channel. Chaka Khan also appears in its published listening information, reflecting the soul strand alongside pop, new wave and rock. Those names help explain the range: the station's seventies identity includes distinctive vocal performers and danceable records as well as celebrated guitar bands.

The schedule includes a feature celebrating influential artists from the decade. It has also carried Sophie K's tribute to Stevie Wonder, exploring the stories around his songs and their lasting appeal. These programmes add artist context to the ordinary music sequence. Between the specialist features, presented workday and longer stretches of seventies recordings, the channel approaches the period through both recognisable songs and the people behind them.
