What's happening with Real radio on DAB?

[Joe Shmoe]

I enjoy listening to the High School Days and Chris Tarrant shows on my DAB radio. When I went to listen to them all I got was station off air. Is this permanent or just temporary? Thank You for any help.:-D

GMG Radio pays to use the relevant DAB broadcasting slot. GMG owns both Real Radio and Jazz FM (as well as several other stations). They've obviously decided that they'll get more advertising revenue from broadcasting Jazz FM in that slot, instead of Real Radio. Jazz FM returned to DAB, at the expense of Real Radio, last Monday:

Real Radio continues to broadcast on FM in most of Yorkshire, parts of Scotland and Wales, much of Northwest England and also in Northeast England (where it's branded as Century Radio).

Thank You for replying Chris. That answers my question completely. Its a shame about Real but I found that the Chris Tarrant show is also available on Smooth FM. Thanks once again .:-D
