Description
This row is the same station as the UpBeat.pw row, listed twice under two of its own domains. UpBeat describes itself as "a non-profit international radio which strives to provide non-stop, quality radio and news entertainment", begun "In late spring of 2016" as "a concept where the main purpose was to bring smaller communities together with a universal radio", built up by two people it names as JackTM and Liz. It runs presenter slots, a news department, a partnership scheme for other website owners, a Discord community and a merchandise shop, and takes applications from the public to present or to write.

Contact route
real and staffed. The site carries three separate enquiry forms, a general one, a partnership one and a veteran one, plus a feedback form, a request and shoutout form, presenter and content-reporter application forms, a job openings page, a Discord server and the station's own Snapchat, Facebook, X and Instagram accounts. There is no e-mail address, telephone number, WhatsApp or postal address anywhere on the site.

Era
not the point; a current pop playlist with occasional older records, and its own "UpBeat Rewind" strand for the back catalogue.

Music
mainstream pop and dance, with a news strand alongside.

Language
English, and the station requires it: its own Discord terms instruct members "Do not speak a language other than English. Use a translator if you're unable to speak English."

Kind
live presenter slots interleaved with automated playout, on the station's own account: it says it gives "people of all ages and interests" the chance "to try their hand at live broadcasting", and its timetable leaves most hours unstaffed.

Worth knowing
this row and the UpBeat.pw row are one station. upbeat.pw hosts nothing of its own; it answers with a 302 redirect to upbeatradio.net, which is why the two rows carry the identical homepage. The station uses both names itself, printing links as upbeat.pw/discord on pages served from upbeatradio.net, and its own Ways To Listen page offers a single stream, so there is no second channel to separate them by.

Where
not stated anywhere on the station's own site. It calls itself international and says its user base is "not from just one place, but all around the world". No city, no country, no timezone and no studio address appears on the About Us, FAQ, Terms of Use, Privacy or Contact pages; internet only, no frequency.

On air
those rostered on its own timetable: Colt, Matt, JackN and Bailey. The site also names JackTM and Liz as its founders, and credits "Jack" for the current design and "the UpBeat Development Team" for the code.

Programmes
an hourly timetable with named slots, and one named strand, "UpBeat Rewind", at 19:00 on the day I read it. Most hours in the grid are unassigned. No timezone is published, and the station notes elsewhere that its audience spans many timezones.

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 | PW → cleared | Same station as the UpBeat.pw row and the same absence of evidence. The operator's own About Us page calls it 'a non-profit international radio' and names no country, city, timezone or address, and neither do its FAQ, Terms of Use, Privacy or Contact pages. The PW on both rows matches the .pw suffix in the paired row's name rather than anything the station says, and upbeat.pw is an alias that 302-redirects to upbeatradio.net. Clearing is the honest answer; the British-spelling and 'TuneIn (UK)' hints on the site are not a stated location. |
| language code |
en
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
upbeatradio.net is entirely in English and the station requires English of its community in its own Terms of Use: 'Do not speak a language other than English. Use a translator if you're unable to speak English.' Its published Recently Played log and presenter timetable are English throughout. |
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 country inferred from a domain suffix | the paired row's name ends .pw, Palau's suffix, and this row inherited the same code; the station says nothing about Palau or any other country.
source |
| British spelling throughout the site, a line on its own Ways To Listen page reading "TuneIn (UK)", and a United Kingdom themed community among its affiliates | suggestive but never stated, so no code follows from it.
source |
| the figures on the station's own Statistics page | labels and values do not line up in the served page, putting "7,379" against "Staff Members" and "50+" against "Current Listeners".
source |
| the now-playing shown in the site header | the player on the same page reported "A connection cannot be established. Please try again later." while still displaying a track.
source |
| the member and online counters on the homepage | hardcoded-looking widget figures.
source |
| any difference invented between this row and the UpBeat.pw row | they are the same service, and the honest answer is a duplicate rather than two stations.

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.
