Guess the radio in United Kingdom

Every signal in this game is a real station broadcasting from somewhere in United Kingdom. You hear it — you don’t see which — and drop a pin on the map where you think the transmitter is. The closer you land, the higher you score. 5 stations, all from United Kingdom, by ear.

How the United Kingdom game works

Press Play United Kingdom and a mystery station begins — drawn at random from 173 real, located United Kingdom broadcasters. Nothing on the map is labelled; your only clues are what you can hear. When you have a hunch about the cityit’s coming from, tap the globe and lock in your guess. A radar line snaps to the true transmitter and you score by the real great-circle distance — pinning the right city is worth the most. Do it 5 times for a grade you can beat, then share a spoiler-free result or take on another country.

Every station streams straight from its own servers — LiveEarthViewer hosts no audio — and if one won’t play, the game quietly retunes you to another station from United Kingdom. All scoring is real distance math on each station’s real coordinates; no made-up numbers.

What United Kingdom’s dial sounds like

Of the United Kingdom stations in this game, the strongest leans are Electronic & Dance (29), Pop & Hits (22), Rock & Metal (20) and News & Talk (13)— the rest carry no genre we can honestly assign. Genre tags are the community’s own, folded into a few families at bake time; an unlabelled station is the normal, honest state, not a gap. It’s still a useful ear-clue: if a United Kingdom signal is heavy on electronic & dance, that fits the pattern.

Stations you might hear

The most-voted United Kingdombroadcasters in the pool — the kind of signal you’re listening for. Knowing the big names won’t hand you the answer (you’re pinning where a station transmits, not naming it), but it tells you what United Kingdom’s airwaves are made of.
