There's no 'pure' DnB stations in London any more!

Kool and Origin are the only two stations coming close but Kool now play a bit of Happy Hardcore, a lot of Oldskool and the occasional bit of Reggae etc. Origin seem to be a mixture of Oldskool and DnB but seems to be more Oldskool when I hear it.
There's so many pure House stations, pure Reggae stations etc but not one station in London bothers with it 24/7 any more.
....I can't even remember how long it's been since there was a 100% DnB station in London, even Wax who mainly played DnB were busting Garage and House and other stuff at times.
So it just shows DnB is dying in London! I used to be a DnB head but as it dies down in London, it dies down on my playlists too.
This time 20 years ago DnB/Jungle was all you'd really hear!!

DnB stands for Dead n Buried

Pahaha you for real?? might not be one in London but I believe there was Hazard on 87.5 in Kent. Pirate radio as it stands is a dying art, music has shifted to mainly online now and its the main way to get music heard. I used to pick up Charge from Essex that was a 24/7 DnB station, but that hasnt been on since the late 00s. Kool and Origin are your best bets but if you look online you have, ok not 24/7 dnb stations but a lot of stations that play it more than any other genre. DnB isnt 'dead n buried' its still around, its actually still commercial too! so for it to be in the charts there has to be movement in the underground scene first for it to go mainstream. I dont go a bundle of jump up these days but other styles of DnB I absolutely love and its still thriving, much as I'd love to see a 24/7 dnb pirate I think its good to have some variety and a reminder where the genre come from so I like how you can listen to acid, old skool hardcore, jungle, old skool house and UKG and all the various styles of DnB.

I think most people in here just dream about doing a station but never actually get on and put one on. If there is no station in London for 24/7 DnB why doesnt someone fill that void? why dont you start one up? and if you do make sure south east Kent can get it too

Cyndicut play a lot of dnb as well, apart from old skool on sundays and reggae on a wednesday

Yeah sorry don't want to offend anyone just noticed it''s really declined over the London airwaves the last 10 years and 95% of stations all turning to House.
I used to be well into it all but they don't make it like they used to any more.

Its only because Deep House is all the rage with the hipsters and every sod is jumping on the bandwagon. If you want soley DnB you have to dig deeper now on the internet because pirate on the FM now do a mixture of everything to cater for all but like you say its mainly house. There is some good stuff happening in the nu skool jungle and hardcore breaks scene, shame there isnt an FM pirate playing that as its up to date and is current music, DnB would fit nicely with it all but again its down to time, costs and tbh its loads easier just to click a button and stream to the world on the internet.
