Today we’ve added Cosoro Radio to our Portsmouth DAB+ digital radio multiplex. Featuring music and speech that celebrates Afrobeats, African artists and entertainment, we are delighted that another new format is now available on terrestrial radio in the Portsmouth area.
In other news, 100% Dragon Hits and 100% Whatever have been removed from the multiplex. We wish them well for their future endeavours.
Two new stations are now broadcasting on our DAB+ digital radio multiplex to the Portsmouth area.
Launching on 1st October, Little Radio is a radio station for small children playing their favourite songs, nursery rhymes and speech from leading children’s entertainers.
Although Christmas is still 12 weeks away, fans of Christmas can get themselves in the festive mood right now with Christmas Angel from Angel Radio. Christmas Angel plays Christmas classics from yesteryear.
Please accept our apologies this week for the outages we’ve had with our transmissions. On Tuesday our transmitter was off for much of the day due to an internet fault that occurred as a result of the bad weather first thing Tuesday morning.
Today our transmitter was on severely reduced power for much of the day to a fault. We’ve made a repair and things are back to normal.
We do our very best to keep things working as they should, but unfortunately we have not had much luck this week. Thank you for your patience during these outages.
Returning to DAB+ digital radio in Portsmouth is News Radio UK. The service provides rolling news, sport, business, showbiz, weather and travel news all day, every day. Retune your radio now to add News Radio UK to your station list.
There have been a number of changes to our station line-up.
On Saturday we said goodbye to Metal Meyhem Radio. The station has decided to come off our Portsmouth DAB multiplex to focus on their Brighton DAB+ coverage and online. We wish them well.
This morning we have added Goldmine. Goldmine are a service that play classic hits from the 1950s to 1980s. To listen to them, rescan your DAB+ radio now.
In other news, The Breeze and Sam FM have converted from DAB to DAB+. This means that older radios may not be able to receive these stations. If you don’t have a DAB+ radio you can buy one from around £20 – just look for the green Digital Radio Tick Mark or DAB+ logo. Failing that, the stations are still broadcast on 107.4 and 106.0 FM respectively.
Finally, stay tuned for further updates as we have two more stations planned to launch very soon.
Angel Radio Ltd is looking for new stations to join our ‘Solent Wireless’ DAB+ multiplex in Portsmouth. If you’re station is interested, please contact us. info @ solentwireless .com by 18:00 on 17th April 2019.
If you are a listener and want to see your favourite station go digital, please tell them to get in touch with us.
Please be advised all services are currently off-air due to a fault at our ISP. They are working to resolve the fault ASAP. Please accept our apologies for the outage, and do remember you can also listen to our services online in the meantime.
Mango Vibe have today changed their name to Atmosphere.Radio. The name should change automatically as soon as you tune in to Mango Vibe (or any of the other services we’re broadcasting).
Atmosphere.Radio is still the home of dance music, they’ve simply changed their name to avoid confusion with soap, hair dressers, food and other items associated with the old name.
We recently made some technical tweaks to a number of our services, namely Mango Vibe, Weather 24/7 Radio and Totally Radio. One of the changes might be obviously to those listening carefully, the other change might not be noticeable. Either way, if you listen to any of these three services in particular, please let us know any feedback you have about them. Have you noticed anything different? We’d like to hear from you.
For the very first time, a chill out radio station has launched in Portsmouth on digital radio. Skylab Radio is a station dedicated to music for the mind, body and soul. What does that mean? It means they play chill out, lounge, downtempo, ambient, south house and Balearic beats. Simple, relaxing, music.
Skylab Radio is broadcast in DAB+. This means radios that do not support DAB+ will be unable to find this service. As a guide, look for the DAB+ logo or green Digital Radio tick mark to be certain of a radio that supports DAB+.
