Description
La Retro Radio is a Chilean station given over entirely to retro hits, put together by Chico Perez and streaming from a cheerfully minimal page that is little more than a player and a WhatsApp button. The mix crosses languages without fuss: an English language dancefloor classic hands straight over to Soda Stereo or Los Rodriguez, and Chilean names like Javiera Parra and Banda Metro turn up beside Pat Benatar and U2. It leans hardest on the eighties and nineties, with the station's own jingles calling out "Solo Retro Hits" between records. Listeners are invited to programme the music themselves by messaging requests in, which is about as close as this station comes to a schedule. It runs unattended most of the time, so what you get is a long and well judged shuffle through the decades rather than somebody's hour.

Contact route
a "Pide tu canción" (request your song) link in the header of its own page that resolves through the station's own short link to a WhatsApp number, a "Contacto" mailto to an address on its own domain, an open invitation to programme music with them, and its own Facebook and Twitter accounts. Where I looked: the whole single-page site and its complete link list, plus /contacto, /pide-tu-cancion, /robots.txt and /sitemap.xml, which all return HTTP 404, so the homepage is the only page there is and the request link and the mailto are on it.

Worth knowing
Requests arrive by WhatsApp rather than through any form, and "programme your music with us" is the invitation sitting in the middle of its page.

Where
Chile; no frequency is stated anywhere, and the site describes itself in its own page metadata as "Solo retro hits de los 80 y 90 online by Chico Perez", offering only a radio.co stream, an Android app, TuneIn and a playlist file
|

On air
None fronting named shows. The station credits itself "by Chico Perez" in its own jingles and on its app listing, as its creator rather than as the host of a programme.

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 |
|---|---|
| An Apple iOS app | the page does carry an App Store link for La Retro Radio, but the entire Apple button is commented out in the HTML and never renders. The station is not currently offering it, and only the Google Play app is live.
source |
| A flat yes or no on whether it takes requests | the site invites listeners to send them by WhatsApp, while the streaming platform's own status record for this station reports requests not accepted. The two disagree, so I described the route the station itself advertises and left the platform's flag out of it.
source |
| An eighties only remit, which the stored title implies | the station's own page describes "solo retro hits de los 80 y 90", and its app listing widens that again to the 70s, 80s and 90s. Its playout log bears the wider range out, so I did not trim the era to fit the title.
source |
| the WhatsApp number behind the request link and the email address | never copy a number or an address into this file
source |
| a city | the whole site is one page that names none, and the pages that could carry one (about, acerca, nosotros, contacto, sitemap.xml) all return 404

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.
