The Classic FM Hall of Fame Hour with Tim Lihoreau 9am - 10am
8 February 2024, 00:01
From 1 February, you can tune in to Classic FM in the Channel Islands on DAB+.
We are delighted to announce that Classic FM is now available to listeners in digital quality, in the Channel Islands.
Local DAB digital radio comes via DAB digital transmitters, which first went live from Les Platons in Jersey and Les Touillets in Guernsey in 2021, bringing a much bigger range of radio listening.
Classic FM is now available on DAB+ for listeners in Jersey, Guernsey, Herm, Sark and Alderney. You will need a DAB+ enabled device to pick up this signal.
Islanders will need a DAB+ enabled digital radio, or you can continue listening online at www.globalplayer.com or via the Global Player app, on digital TVs or via smart speakers.
The Channel Islands’ DAB network broadcasts all services in DAB+, which is an upgraded and more efficient version of DAB.
Listeners in Jersey, Guernsey, Herm, Sark and Alderney will receive Classic FM thanks to three transmitters located in Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney covering 82 percent of the population and 93 percent of roads.
Islanders can confirm that they are in coverage of the new network by checking their postcode at www.getdigitalradio.com and may need to retune their digital radios to receive the stations on DAB+ for the first time.
To listen to the services via the new DAB+ network, Islanders will need a DAB+ enabled digital radio.
If you have an older DAB radio, you will not be able to listen to stations broadcast using DAB+ transmitters.
