Frequencies & locations:
- Online – SomaFM Covers is an internet-only radio station and is not broadcast on FM, AM/MW, LW, DAB Digital Radio, DAB+ or HD Radio.
SomaFM Covers focuses on songs that were written and made famous by someone else first. The station’s strength is the twist: you might recognise the melody, lyric or chorus, but the artist, arrangement or mood can be completely different. That makes it more interesting than a standard classic hits stream because the pleasure comes from both memory and surprise.
The playlist moves across decades and styles, pulling in reworked old-school favourites, classic hits, alternative covers, loungey versions, punk takes, acoustic interpretations and unexpected genre flips. Recent playlist examples have included covers of songs such as Ever Fallen in Love, Money, This Charming Man, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Handbags & Gladrags and Whole Lotta Love, which gives the station a broad but clear identity.
Based in San Francisco, SomaFM has built its reputation on hand-curated internet radio channels with strong musical ideas. Covers fits that model perfectly because it is not just a novelty playlist. The channel works when the selections make you stop and think, ‘hang on, I know this song,’ then keeps you listening because the version is different enough to earn its place.
Notable Presenters & Shows: Covers is music-directed by Michael Koperwas. SomaFM lists Koperwas as the Music Director for the channel, shaping its mix of cover versions and familiar songs performed by unexpected artists. The station is not built around conventional breakfast or drive-time presenter shows; its identity comes from Koperwas’s continuous curation of cover versions across classic hits, old-school favourites and left-field reinterpretations.
