What is Digital Radio?

Digital radio gives you the FM stations you’re used to, as well as a much wider choice of digital-only stations. It also offers easy tuning, hiss and crackle-free sound.

You can listen to digital radio in a number of ways: DAB digital radio, online (on computers and mobile apps) and on TV.

There’s something for everyone on digital radio. From jazz to rock, classical to hip-hop and speech to sport, there's a station to suit everyone.
