Do these have actual human djs? Not a criticism, just wondering

They have curators, who create the playlist and select the songs, but they are not live mixing or selecting what’s is going to play. In each of the stations you can check the bio of the people behind the music selection.

Yeah Rusty Hodge is the original I think but there are a bunch covering the different stations

The curation is human yes. There are prerecorded snippets of the djs throughout the day.

Sadly I doubt there are many 24/7 live DJs today. Though I’d love that job!

Show threadJames R Kirk2d ago

I’ve actually encountered a lot of free radio streams with human DJs for at least the majority of the day. Two off the top of my head:

www.nts.live

www.thelotradio.com (this one even has a camera on the DJ)

NTS | Don't Assume

NTS is a global radio platform broadcasting music from over 50 cities around the globe, live 24/7.
