Current mood:  chill
An update on our DAB coverage in London - as we mentioned on the blog last month, Chill was due to switch transmitters in London. This has just happened today.

If we've just dropped off your DAB radio today, all you need to do is autotune. You will probably find this restores several London stations which moved at the same time.

Unfortunately, as we mentioned a while ago, our new slot is mono rather than stereo. Most DAB radios only have one speaker, however, so hopefully you won't notice too much difference. If you have the option to listen on internet radio, however, you will find that the sound quality is better there.

There is good news for some people within 20 or so miles from London who found Chill disappeared from their DAB two months ago, however. The coverage area of our new London slot is a bit bigger than our old one, so it's possible that autotuning your radio brings Chill back! If you have been able to listen to Capital Radio on DAB, you should now be able to get Chill on DAB too.

Best wishes,

The reception after the retune is terrible! It has been perfect on 5 digital radios in West London & now...dreadful.
What a shame. You have just lost a long standing happy listener. And no I won't bother listening on the internet.

Wish you had live RDS rolling track information like you used to have, rather than having to look on the internet for song title name/artist etc...also your reception in West London is pants..

Could you please set out the actual channel for London as the auto tune in my car is not very effective. Regards, John Rogers

Oh no, this is a shame. Mono I can live with, but you're just slipping under the 5th bar quality threshold in Hanwell, West London. I have to agree with Tom and Guy there. Although I'll keep listening online, there's nothing better when I'm working.

Oh yeah, the radio suffers from sink-splash.
