Jazz FM goes national via Digital One
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 21 March 2011
Jazz FM has become a national station thanks to it being added to the Digital One national digital radio multiplex.
Previously the digital jazz station has only been available in London and the Northwest, ie the regions where it once broadcast on FM before its then owners, GMG Radio, reutilised those frequencies for its easy pop station Smooth FM. Its arrival on the Digital One network means it will now have a potential audience reach of over 50 million.
Evening show host Helen Mayhew told Radio Today: “I’ve been presenting on Jazz FM for nearly 20 years since it first launched. It has always been our aspiration to be national and I am delighted to be with the station to see it realize that ambition”.
