A daily rhythm shaped by light, movement and atmosphere

SUN RADIO does not simply play music around the clock.
It programmes five distinct editorial moments; each one shaped by the rhythm of the day, the quality of light, and the emotional atmosphere of contemporary Portugal.
From the quiet depth of the early hours to the warmth of the Atlantic evening, every block is curated with intention.
This is not shuffle. This is editorial radio.

All times Lisbon — WET/WEST

01h - 06h

Drift

The quietest hours of the day.
Drift is SUN RADIO at its most intimate, a slow, weightless passage through the stillness of the night.
Vocal jazz, soul and ambient textures unfold with space and restraint, creating a soundscape for late conversations, solitary listening and the moments when the world becomes quiet.
Music selected not to fill the silence, but to deepen it.

06h - 11h

First Light

The day begins gently.
First Light is a gradual awakening, warm, clear and quietly rhythmic, shaped by the first hours of morning in Portugal.
Soft pop, soul, acoustic detail, understated electronics and light global rhythms accompany the arrival of the day, while the pace remains unhurried and the possibilities still feel open.
Music selected to let the morning unfold, rather than rush it.

11h - 17h

Horizon

The long flow of the day.
Horizon is SUN RADIO at its most expansive, six hours of open, fluid sound shaped by the rhythm and full light of midday Portugal.
Contemporary soul, refined pop, understated electronics and global grooves create a steady sense of movement, accompanying work, travel and everyday life without demanding attention.
The defining sound of SUN RADIO: cosmopolitan, unhurried and open to the world.

17h - 22h

Afterglow

The golden turn of the day.
As the Atlantic light softens and the pace begins to shift, Afterglow brings a warmer, deeper energy to SUN RADIO.
Soulful grooves, modern jazz, slow-burning electronics and expressive voices shape the transition into evening, richer in texture, more emotional in tone, yet always measured.
The sound of contemporary Portugal as daylight fades and atmosphere takes over.

22h - 01h

Nocturne

As the night deepens, so does the sound.
Nocturne brings a darker, more refined pulse to SUN RADIO, composed for late dinners, dimly lit rooms and the slower rhythm of the city after dark.
A curated selection of depth, elegance and quiet sophistication that accompanies the late hours with presence and restraint. create a sound that is intimate without becoming still, sophisticated without losing warmth.
Some music belongs to the night. Nocturne is where it comes alive.
