Soho Radio
Soho Radio is an independent online radio station based in Soho, London.[1] It was created in 2014 by Adrian Meehan, a musician and studio owner, to showcase Soho's vibrant and diverse culture.[2]
It streams programmes from a property on Great Windmill Street with a small coffee and merchandise shop in the front and the on-air DJ visible through glass in the rear; the location was chosen in part to allow passers-by to see the DJs at work.[3]
Live shows are streamed from its website; archived shows are released on Mixcloud.
On 8 November 2016, Soho Radio was named the World’s Best Internet Radio Station[4][5] in the Online Radio Awards.
