Global, the Media & Entertainment group, has launched a brand-new pop-up radio station that’s turning the dial upside down: WSQK ‘The Squawk’, an immersive audio experience straight from the world of Stranger Things 5.
From today, WSQK will transport listeners back to Hawkins with non-stop 1980s hits, hosted by an all-American DJ lineup featuring Vance Goodman and Mindy Flare. Expect a full dose of retro vibes, including authentic American-style ads and in-world features that make you feel like you’re living in the Upside Down.
What’s On Air?
Rewind at 9: Turning Hawkins Upside Down – a daily feature that flips the script with a surprise track.
Talk to Tammy – Hawkins’ no-nonsense Agony Aunt keeping everyone in check.
Dial-A-Dedication – fans can request shout-outs via GlobalPlayer.com (perfect for those without a landline).
Plus, plenty of nostalgic surprises to keep you guessing.
To nail the authentic 80s sound, WSQK is processed through a vintage Inovonics FM250 audio processor, originally released in 1983 and used by thousands of stations during the golden age of FM radio.
