We wanted to share this TikTok because, while it doesn’t tell us everything, it’s very clearly telling us something.
The video itself is deliberately vague, but it’s heavy on tone and intent. It teases a new phase of WSQK “The Squawk”, promising something “immense,” “epic,” and seemingly ongoing, with repeated references to scale, longevity, and a launch date in mid-February. What it doesn’t do is explain exactly what that means .. no programming details, no clear roadmap .. just atmosphere, confidence, and anticipation.
What makes this more interesting is what’s happening in the comments.
Across several TikTok posts, commenters are stating that the official Stranger Things team is aware of — and okay with — this account, even suggesting that it has been given a blessing and isn’t facing any copyright concerns. While that alone isn’t formal confirmation, it does suggest this is something more than a knockoff or a fan-made spinoff, especially compared to the many unofficial “Stranger Things-inspired” projects that have popped up over the years.
The Squawk radio station was arguably one of the best aspects of the run-up to the final season of Stranger Things. As an avid radio listener myself, I found WSQK more endearing and more fun than even the show itself at times. It felt alive. It felt immersive. It felt like discovery.
Yes, there’s still debate about the show itself — and we’re not getting into that here.
One particularly interesting detail is that several commenters have asked whether this new Squawk has anything to do with Conformity Gate. That might sound laughable at first… except the account has responded with a simple but telling word: possibly.
Is that just marketing? Very likely.
Could there be something real behind it? Also possible.
What we do know is this: February 16 keeps coming up, and it appears that something is happening. A new Squawk is coming.
Is this part of a broader lead-in to other Stranger Things–related content arriving on Netflix this year, including the animated 1985 series? Or is it something different entirely?
Right now, we don’t know.
But we do know it’s fun.
We’ve reached out directly to the official email address listed on the TikTok page and are waiting for a response. If we hear back, we’ll share whatever information is provided. Until then, this remains mysterious — but reassuring.
Just like Contact.
Hopefully, the Upside Down is reaching out to us on the radio once again.
