How to Listen to Serbian Radio Online

Published 21 September 2026

You can stream Serbian radio live in any browser, with no download and no account: open 72FM's Serbia page, choose a station and press play. Serbian stations are some of the most-voted in the whole directory — a sign of how many people, at home and abroad, listen to them online — and the dial runs from the public broadcaster's classical channels to folk, turbo-folk, Yugoslav rock and Belgrade club music.

Radio Beograd: the public broadcaster

Radio Beograd began in March 1929 and is now part of RTS, Radio Television of Serbia. It has four channels:

• Radio Beograd 1 — news, talk, documentaries and drama: the national conversation.
• Radio Beograd 2 and Radio Beograd 3 — culture, classical music and the arts.
• Radio Beograd 202 — the pop station, with a long history of its own in Belgrade.

The big commercial stations

• Cool Radio — the most-voted Serbian station in the directory, with folk and pop.
• OK Radio and Hit FM — Serbian music, much of it folk and pop.
• Naxi Radio — a Belgrade station that has grown a whole family of streams: rock, café music, 80s, dance, boem songs, children's music and Naxi ExYu, for music from across the former Yugoslavia.
• TDI Radio — club music, pop and top 40.
• Play Radio — the station that replaced B92 on the radio dial in 2015. B92, founded in 1989, was famous in the 1990s as one of the few independent sources of news in Belgrade.
• Radio S, Super FM, Pink Radio and Radio Nostalgija — more of the dial, from hits to oldies.

Belgrade's own station

Radio Studio B began broadcasting on 1 April 1970, the first station set up outside Yugoslavia's state broadcasting system. Today it plays jazz and urban music alongside Belgrade news. For rock, Rock Radio Beograd streams at 192kbps.

The sounds that come from here

Narodna muzika. Serbian folk music — accordion, violin and songs about love, usually sad — is the backbone of the commercial dial. Stations such as Radio 4P Narodna Muzika, Radio Mackica and Resavski radio play nothing else, and many others play mostly it.

Newly composed folk and turbo-folk. From the 1970s, folk was rewritten for the city, and in the 1990s it met dance music and became turbo-folk — loud, glossy and still huge. You will hear it all day on Pink Radio and the folk stations.

Starogradska muzika. "Old town music" — gentle urban songs of the kind still played in the cafés of Belgrade's Skadarlija quarter. The Naxi boem stream is the place for it.

Yugoslav rock. The rock and new wave of 1980s Yugoslavia is loved across the region, and Naxi ExYu and Naxi EXYU rock are given over to it.

Brass. Balkan brass bands, and the trumpet festival at Guča, are a Serbian export of their own. The folk radio guide covers the wider tradition.

Listening from abroad

Large Serbian communities live in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and in the United States, Canada and Australia, and Serbian radio is one of the most listened-to diaspora sounds online. Expat radio covers the habit. Serbia keeps Central European time, one hour ahead of UTC in winter and two in summer, the same as Germany and Austria.

A practical note: Serbian is written in both Cyrillic and Latin script, so a station's name can appear either way — searching "Beograd" and "Београд" can find different listings.

Sound quality

Most Serbian streams are 128kbps, which sounds good for music. Naxi's main stream also has a 48kbps version for slow connections, Rock Radio Beograd streams at 192kbps and Radio 4P at 320kbps. Some stations do not report a bitrate, which shows as "0" and says nothing about how they sound. Radio audio quality and bitrate explains the numbers.

A route in

1. Radio Beograd 1, for the public broadcaster.
