DAB network to be less Chilled
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 31 July 2009
Global Radio’s chill-out digital station Chill will disappear from the digital audio broadcasting network in a number of English regions, confining the service to London, the West Midlands, Scotland and online. The move is seemingly designed to allow Global to expand the digital output of its Galaxy network, though the reach of the service, originally launched in 2005, has been cut back previously for cost saving reasons.
In a statement, a spokesman for Chill said: “I am sorry that the DAB change couldn’t be avoided. Our parent company has been great to us for years. They are facing the same credit crunch as the rest of us, and their business choices mean jobs and food for a lot of people. So please don’t snow them under with letters!”
A Global Radio spokesperson, meanwhile, added: “Chill will continue to broadcast on digital radio in London, Birmingham, Glasgow and Edinburgh and will also be available online. As a result of a recent review of our digital services we’re pleased to expand our popular Galaxy brand to many other areas via digital radio”.
