Radio Nation 90s

Nation 90s revisits the popular music of the 1990s. The decade brought dance, pop, R&B and guitar-led songs into a varied mainstream, and the station draws on that recognisable radio sound. It is one of Nation Broadcasting's dedicated decade services.

Roberto is among the station's breakfast voices, while its presented output also includes Claire Scott at drivetime. Weekend programmes give requests and less familiar recordings their own space: Tony Dibbin hosts a request show, and David Francis presents Forgotten 90s. Mark Franklin's Chilled 90s explores a softer part of the selection. These strands add variety beyond simply repeating the decade's biggest anthems.

Recent records on the station include R.E.M.'s Shiny Happy People, Daft Punk's Around the World and Janet Jackson's Again. Happy Mondays, Robbie Williams, Louise and Five also appear in its playlist. The combination brings British bands, American vocal pop and electronic dance records together, reflecting several of the sounds that reached mainstream radio during the nineties.

China Black's Searching and Let Loose's Crazy for You illustrate the station's interest in songs that sit alongside the most obvious decade favourites. Requests allow listeners to influence part of the programme, while Forgotten 90s explicitly looks towards songs that may have slipped from regular listening. The result is a period station with both familiar hooks and room for rediscovery, supported by presenters whose individual shows give the week its structure.
