NTS RADIO — A Worldwide Audio Destination
NTS RADIO is an international music radio service available on iPhone and created by NTS LIVE LTD. It’s a free multimedia app listed in the Music & Radio category, designed to help curious listeners discover new sounds and to give emerging artists a platform outside of mainstream radio formats.
Platform highlights
- Tens of thousands of archived shows covering a broad spectrum of styles and eras.
- Continuous live broadcasting with two nonstop channels available 24/7.
- A collection of more than a dozen “Infinite Mixtape” streams for uninterrupted listening.
- Completely free of advertising and developed by people passionate about music.
- An ethos that prioritizes discovery and supports artists who don’t fit commercial radio molds.
Hosts and global coverage
NTS features a large roster of resident presenters — musicians, DJs, visual artists, and record collectors — who contribute programming every month. More than 600 hosts participate, broadcasting from upwards of sixty cities worldwide, which keeps the schedule varied and internationally minded.
Musical variety
- Ambient
- Disco
- Afrobeats
- Jazz
- Techno
- Hip-hop
These genres only scratch the surface; the archive and live shows span countless other styles, reflecting the platform’s wide-ranging taste.
Supporting the project
Listening is free, but users who want to contribute can join NTS Supporters. Donations are split so that half of the funds go directly to the resident hosts and the other half is funneled back into the service to maintain and grow the broadcasts.
Alternative app suggestion
