Jazz FM tops 400,000

The relaunched Jazz FM has attracted 408,000 listeners in the first six months after its return to the airwaves.

Although Jazz FM can be heard nationwide via digital TV and the internet, it's only available on DAB digital radio in five regions of the UK, including south Wales.

The short-lived digital station theJazz, which closed in March 2008, attracted 407,000 listeners but had much wider coverage on DAB across the UK.

Jazz FM offers a broad range of jazz across the board from smooth to standards, classic soul, blues, bebop, swing, trad, big band, Latin, nu-jazz, fusion and electronica with presenters including Peter Young, Mike Chadwick and Steve Quirk

You can hear the station via www.jazzfm.com, Sky Digital channel 0202, Freesat channel 730 and on DAB in selected areas including London and the South East, Cardiff and south Wales, Birmingham and the West Midlands, Manchester and the North West, and Glasgow.
