It's interference free and features a wide and varied choice of stations broadcasting both nationally and locally.

If you live in a poor signal area where the FM signal is barely audible, then DAB may offer you better reception.

DAB is a new technology which broadcasts audio and data services that can be received in over 85% of the United Kingdom. With the right kind of tuner, listeners can receive a choice of stations without hiss or fade unlike conventional FM and AM receivers.

No matter where you are in the UK, whether on holiday in the Lake District, on a mountain or driving in your car, you can listen to digital radio without hassle. The signal is either there or not at all.

DAB offers listeners more choice of programmes from rock, pop, classical and easy listening, to spoken word, news and more. So whatever your mood, there is always something on DAB for you - subject to availability.
