World Music Radio Classic

World Music Radio Classic (often abbreviated as WMR Classic) is a Netherlands-based internet radio station that focuses on music from the ‘70s, ‘80s, and related classic pop, rock, R&B, and world-influenced tracks. It is part of a broader revival of the “World Music Radio” brand, which gained fame in the late 1960s and 1980s as a pioneering offshore and shortwave station. WMR believes in the power of music to connect cultures and promote global understanding. The station specializes in retro and classic hit music, especially from the 1980s, featuring iconic artists and familiar tracks that evoke the era’s sound. It serves as a “tribute” or heritage stream, designed to capture the eclectic and international spirit of its predecessor while operating on modern digital platforms.
