To listen to DAB radio, you need to tune to the correct frequency to receive the service you want, just as you do with AM or FM. However, as the frequencies allocated to DAB are not particularly easy to remember, they have been allocated a code, known as a frequency block.
Below is a list of the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ radio services on DAB and the frequency block they are broadcast on.Μύ To see what DAB services you can receive at your location, use our Transmitter Checker tool.
ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ National DABΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύΜύ
ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ National DAB includes radio services such as ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radios 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Live, and digital-only services like ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 6 Music, ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 Extra, ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 1Xtra can be found on block 12B.Μύ
ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Local DABΜύΜύ
ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Local and Nations radio services on DAB digital radio are transmitted by commercial broadcasting operators.ΜύIn some areas there is not yet a local DAB service on air, so not every ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ station is currently available on this platform. This is because the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ's digital multiplex is already used to full capacity for ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Network services.Μύ
