I was saddened to hear this station is coming to an end as of December 26, 2025. This is an old-school, linear station with regular specials and countdowns, nostalgic bumpers, and a chart lover's sensibility through and through.

Charlie has every Hot 100 and Bubbling Under single from the decade in rotation, as well as every Rock and Alternative charting single, and a deep well of additional songs from the other charts, MTV, and more that kept growing year after year, going beyond 10,000 songs in regular rotation.

Essentially, the licensing and royalty fees have grown too high as the listenership has expanded (17m sessions this year) and the fundraising has not kept pace; this is a commercial free, subscription free service.

I'd encourage those who didn't listen before and have a love of 80s charts to tune in for the last few weeks of service: https://charlies80sattic.com/listen/" rel="nofollow - https://charlies80sattic.com/listen/

I'd also appreciate any alternatives folks can suggest. This station has become a daily habit in the year+ since I discovered it, and I'm looking for a replacement.
