Radio Stn. Based On Netflix's "Stranger Things" Debuts Overseas

It's called WSQK, (short for The Squawk) and it re-creates radio from the 1980s, when the series is set. The station not only features music and DJs from the era, but lets listeners take part in "Stranger"-reality contests, promos and request dedications. And they've even had jingles done especially for the faux-station.

Nothing is overlooked - even how they produce the sound of the outlet. 

"To capture an authentic sound, the audio is being processed through a vintage Inovonics FM250 unit dating back to 1983, the same type used widely by radio stations during the decade. This approach gives WSQK a period-accurate tone that matches the Stranger Things setting."

You have to sign up to access their online player, and I'm even sure if it's available outside the U.K. And you need to hurry - the special station is only on until January 1st. But if you're game to give it a go, well, Stranger Things have happened. You can find the feed here.
