Description
Tick Tock Radio is a family of year stations, one for every year from 1950 onward, run by the YouRadio network under the brand its own systems call "Every Year". The operator describes this channel as "your 1993 Time Capsule" and "a sonic time machine" carrying "an exclusive playlist that encapsulates the entire year of 1993 in music". It promises "a continuous stream of music from 1993, with no interruptions, no DJs, just pure music", with no sign-up required. The brand's own text frames the whole set as a way to pick the year of a birth, a first date or a wedding and hear it back.

Artists
The operator's own description of this channel names Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur, Aerosmith and Red Hot Chili Peppers as the shape of the 1993 playlist; the stream itself sends no track titles, so no individual played record can be logged.

Contact route
No person is reachable. The network's only contact route is a form on you.radio taking name, email and message, with an "Other Ways to Reach Us" block linking the network's own social accounts. There is no email address, no studio phone, no request line, no WhatsApp and no named staff member anywhere on the network site, and this channel's own record carries empty facebook, instagram, twitter and website fields.

Era
1993 alone, and that is the entire point of the channel.

|
Music
Single-year chart music, which the operator breaks down as grunge, pop, hip-hop and rock.
|

Language
Nothing is spoken. The operator states there are no DJs and no interruptions, and all of its published text is English while the music it names is English-language chart material.

Kind
Automated continuous playout of a single-year library, served from the operator's own Icecast mount at https://streaming.ticktock.radio/tt/1993/icecast.audio, whose icy-name reads "tt/1993".

Worth knowing
The network publishes an open station API of its own, and that record is what binds this row: slug "ticktock-1993", station id 861, brand "Every Year", genre "Tick Tock 1990s", created 2021-10-14, with the mount name matching the stream it serves. The operator's sibling year channels run from ticktock-1950 upward in its own sitemap, so the "1993" in the title is a channel name, not a founding date.

Where
Not stated anywhere. The operator's own station record carries country_code "None", the brand record names no city or country, and the only geography published anywhere on the network is a footer copyright line reading "Copyright 2025 Aroha Ltd, UAE. Aroha LTD is a wholly owned subsidiary of ROR Investments & Securities". Online only, no frequency.

On air
none. The operator writes "no interruptions, no DJs, just pure music". I looked at the station page, the brand record and the network's own About and Contact pages, and no person is named anywhere on the network.

Programmes
none. There is no schedule on the station page, on the brand record or in the network's own station API, and the operator's own description rules shows out.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| country code | IO → cleared | Cleared because the operator never states a broadcast origin. The stored IO is impossible in any case: the British Indian Ocean Territory has no civilian population and no radio stations. The operator's own public station record at https://manager.uber.radio/api/public/station/861 carries country_code 'None' for this channel, and the same field reads 'None' on every sibling year station I sampled (ticktock-2018 through ticktock-2021). The brand record for the set, returned by https://manager.uber.radio/api/public/brand as brand id 14 'Every Year' with routename 'ticktock', names no city or country either. The only geography published anywhere on the network is a footer copyright line in the you.radio application bundle reading 'Copyright 2025 Aroha Ltd, UAE. Aroha LTD is a wholly owned subsidiary of ROR Investments & Securities'. That is a corporate domicile in a copyright notice, not a statement of where the station broadcasts from, so I have left the field empty rather than promote it to AE. If a reviewer later decides a copyright domicile is good enough, the evidence for AE is on record here. |

what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it

The row had no homepage and the operator does have a live page for this channel. you.radio is the operator's own network site, not a third-party host: it serves this channel's page at 200, its API at manager.uber.radio returns the station record, and the stream runs on the operator's own streaming.ticktock.radio, all under one operator. The station's own sitemap at https://you.radio/sitemap-stations-0001.xml lists station/ticktock-1993 among the year channels, and the record at https://manager.uber.radio/api/public/station/861 gives slug 'ticktock-1993' with an empty website_url, so this network page is the only first-party page the channel has. I am deliberately not proposing the brand's declared site https://ticktock.radio/, named in the brand record as web_site_url, because it answers with Cloudflare error 525 and storing it would put a non-serving address in the field. |

Filled to match the sibling row, with the caveat on record. The operator's own description at https://manager.uber.radio/api/public/station/861 states the channel runs with 'no interruptions, no DJs, just pure music', so strictly nothing is spoken on air. What the operator does publish is English throughout, and the 1993 playlist it describes is English-language chart music, naming Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur, Aerosmith and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Tick Tock Radio - 2022 row in this catalogue already carries en on the same basis, so leaving this one unset would make two channels of one identical set disagree for no reason. |
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 |
|---|---|
| This station record's pinecone_search_text field, which reads "RELATED: Nirvana, Whitney Houston, Pearl Jam, Mariah Carey" with mood, energy and use-case tags | That is the operator's internal search-vector text, not a playlist or an editorial description, and quoting it would present machine tagging as a record of what was played.
source |
| The brand's own declared website https://ticktock.radio/ | It answers with Cloudflare error 525, so proposing it as the homepage would store an address that does not serve.
source |
| A station count for the network | Its own About page gives "1000s of stations" in the page title and "100s of stations" in the body of the same page, so the operator's two figures disagree and neither can be quoted.

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.
