Description
Heart 70s is a British digital station from Global, one of a family of Heart spin offs that each take a single decade or mood, and this one plays nothing but the 1970s. It launched on 30 August 2019 and is broadcast on DAB+ through the Digital One national multiplex as well as online through the Global Player app, with studios at Leicester Square in London. Most of the schedule is a rolling non stop music service, with a live weekday breakfast show from Carlos and a Saturday morning slot to break up the automation. The playlist leans on the decade's feel good singles, the pop, soul, disco and rock that still turn up on every 70s compilation.

Contact route
No route of its own. The channel's own contact page at /70s/contact/ carries exactly two links, both to the parent group Global, and I fetched Heart 80s's page alongside it and confirmed the two pages offer the identical pair, so 70s does the same thing 80s does. The note is right about that, but not quite right that the parent offers only customer support: the "Contact Us" target does carry a listener route to a human, namely a text shortcode published as the way "to contact the presenter in the studio", alongside the Heart switchboard, the London postal address, a newsroom story-submission page and a media-enquiries mailbox. Those are the Heart brand's routes and reach the main network, not a Heart 70s studio; Heart 70s itself publishes no request, dedication, text or phone route, and the socials in its header are the Heart brand's Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

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 |
|---|---|
| The studio text shortcode, the Heart switchboard, the Leicester Square postal address, the Global customer support mailbox and telephone, and the media-enquiries mailbox | every one of them sits on the parent Heart or Global page rather than on the Heart 70s channel, and the customer-support and media addresses are a corporate helpdesk and a journalists-only line, not listener routes at all.

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.
