Description
Flashback 60s is one of a family of decade-themed oldies streams run out of Reykjavík by the Icelandic operator behind FlashBack FM 91.9, a station that launched in 2013 and proved popular enough that separate channels for the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s were spun off from it. This one stays in the sixties, running rock, pop and soul hits of the decade back to back with very little talk in between. The licence sits with 247 ehf. at Hafnarstræti 20 in Reykjavík, and the channel is carried through Spilarinn, the app and website that gathers Iceland's licensed radio stations into one place, so it travels well beyond the country.

Contact route
none found. The stored homepage is a platform, not a station site: every path on spilarinn.is returns the identical 4001-byte Spilarinn app-download page, and the stored path, /robots.txt, /sitemap.xml, /api/stations and a nonsense-path control are all byte-identical by checksum, so there is no per-station page to carry a route. The platform's own station API returns, for this station, only a name, a frequency, logo files and a stream URL, with no site or contact field; the Icecast mount serving that stream reports server_name "no name", "Unspecified description" and an icemaster@localhost admin; flashback.is does not resolve on either host.

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| A contact route on kissfm.is, which lists a sister "FlashBack" channel in its own player | the channel named there is FlashBack 91,9, not 60's FlashBack on 108,1, so publishing it would be borrowing another service's route for this one.

| The Spilarinn app's iOS and Android store listings and the design agency that builds it | an aggregator platform and its web developer are not the station.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
