Suggest boombox/radio stations here

If you have a suggestion for a new radio station to be added to the boombox, you may request it here.

Requirements
- English only
- Must be a .pls or .m3u file to an Internet radio stream
- Must be different to existing stations
- Must be something that many players would want, nothing too niche or obscure

To find Internet radio streams' .pls files, you can use this site: https://www.internet-radio.com/

Once you find a stream you'd like to suggest, right-click the .pls file link and select 'copy link' and post it here.



Make sure you mention what the station is actually called. Don’t just post random links without an explanation of what they are.

Radio stations can be added dynamically in runtime and don't require a script update, however I won't be checking this topic every day so just leave suggestions and don't keep asking about them. I'll check this topic periodically and see what I like.

Good afternoon,

It does not seem that there has been any suggestions to date and so I thought I might share mine - even if hesitantly.

Personally I am a regular listener of BBC Radio and was wondering if it could be added ?
A list of .pls URLs (have tested a few and they do seem to work) : https://gist.github.com/bpsib/67089b959e4fa898af69fea59ad74bc3

BBC Radio 1 - contemporary rock/pop and youth-targeted
BBC Radio 2 - wide range of music, talk, comedy, news - find it has a lot of older music
BBC Radio 3 - arts/high culture - classical music/jazz
BBC Radio 4 - news, current affairs, talk, books religion (You can use http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/select/version/2.0/mediaset/http-icy-mp3-a/vpid/bbc_radio_fourlw/format/pls.pls for LW which includes Daily Service/Yesterday in Parliament)
BBC Radio 5 - sports, basically. There is a non-UK version which will probably be wise to use due to sports rights shenanigans.
BBC Radio 6 - various alternative music (e.g. rock, funk, punk and reggae)

Personally I tend to jump between 3 and 4 depending on the time of day though I used to be a big 2 listener.
One of the key reasons I'm suggesting these is because they do not have adverts (except for their own services/events) and offer more variety (as much as I love 'America's Country' for example their playlist gets very repetitive and it is the same three or four adverts every hour catered to my local area).

To segway into a couple of things I was curious about : could it be made possible for us to use our own .m3u / .pls URLs if these are too niche to be added ?

And a heads up one of the things I was planning to suggest was a "MP3 Player" i.e. boombox but only outputting audio to the local client (so that others cannot hear).
This would be useable in and out of vehicles. If you want to shoot that down before I suggest it - feel free.  ♥

I will confess this seems like a long-shot. ^.^

Matthias.

Imma say no because they talk too much. Only really interested in adding stations that are 99% music.

I don't have the link or the file to request it, but could you add some of the Vice City stations(Fever or Flash) to the boombox, like how you did with the SA radio stations?

MajesticFudgie made the SA stations, and I believe he also did Lips from GTA 3. I will see if he's up for doing the 3/VC ones but it would take a lot of time and effort and I don't think many players would listen to them to be honest. It'd also really clutter up the station list and I'd probably have to add categories that take you to other menus.
