Regional DAB transmissions from Jazz FM in the West Midlands, North West, London and Glasgow have now ended.
The station had been duplicating coverage in these areas since
appearing on Digital One in March this year, and will now be replaced by
GMG’s rock station Real XS.
A continuous loop has now appeared advising listeners to press
Autotune on their DAB radio sets, and tune in to “Jazz FM National” from
Monday (5 September).
GMG Radio, who own the space on the regional and local multiplexes
that was being used by Jazz FM, say they will replace it in London, the
North West and West Midlands with Real XS, the new sister brand of Real
Radio which launches on Monday in place of 106.1 Rock Radio in
Manchester. In Scotland, however, it’s understood Real XS will go on the
Central Scotland (Switchdigital) multiplex, rather than the Glasgow
(Bauer) multiplex where Jazz FM currently is.
Rock Radio Manchester is already broadcasting on the North East,
Yorkshire and South Wales & Severn Estuary so these services will
change to Real XS from next week too.
