Explore Radio City, The Station of the Cars, a unique independent radio service inspired by the golden age of European offshore broadcasting. Influenced by ship based commercial stations that revitalized radio with non stop music, the operator honed skills through years of pirate radio transmissions on shortwave, medium wave, and FM. The name Radio City was chosen in 1991, and the distinctive slogan The Station of the Cars was adopted to stand out. This identity is strongly linked to vintage cars, featuring car commercials and car songs in early years, and presenting a different classic vehicle in each QSL letter. The programming offers a fixed structure with a focus on 60s music and a broad selection of international music, including a segment called Dateline that highlights events and music from past years.

Today, Radio City primarily broadcasts in Europe on Medium Wave 1323 kHz. This transmission is facilitated through the International Public Access Radio (IPAR) program, a service provided by NEXUS International Broadcasting Association. IPAR is a public broadcasting platform offering airtime on shortwave and AM Medium Wave frequencies to support free speech and diverse viewpoints. It allows individuals and organisations to reach a worldwide audience, particularly targeting areas across the digital divide and regions facing internet censorship, providing an important platform for independent radio like Radio City
