Classic FM website.From Wikipedia: As well as playing older music, the station plays several modern film scores. It had been operating a trial programme on its AM frequencies in Wiltshire and Bristol, testing audience reaction to a regular drive-time programme of popular classical music. Time Warner agreed to back the project but was prohibited under then current UK law from owning more than a 25 interest. - en.wikipedia.org

Classic FM on Freeview - biggest digital joke so far. 64kbit/s MONO - WHAT ??? Digital Radio is continuing to be the current biggest con-trick in the UK, (after SKY in my opinion). Compare the quality of services elsewhere in Europe(Germany in particular)
DIGITALBITRATE : Digital channels bitrate Satellite, Dtt and more - -
The site is a bit techy but shows compromise after compromise features in current British broadcasting, TV and Radio all in the name of quantity versus quality. .

Mike Savison: If you dont like the birate via Freeview (which most people dont bother using for radio anyway), then use the web. Frankly, considering Classic FM's limited and uninspiring playlist, a search around the web for classical streaming stations (of which there are possibly hundreds) would be a great choice.

MikeB - yes, that's a good alternative and perhaps the internet is making all broadcasting obsolete. I am involved with community radio(Tempo FM) and locally, and obviously, Band 2 FM is our major outlet but we have an internet stream available and where there is internet, we can be heard, effectively leap-frogging DAB. I am sure this is the most effective alternative to DAB. It's certainly easier and cheaper to setup for what you get.
P.S. the 'S' instead of 'D' was a touch of dyslexic fingers.

A Bridge: If you're receiving the Marlborough transmitter, it's a lite transmitter which broadcasts only the PSB multiplexes and not the rest of the commercial channels as it only serves around 4,300 homes which is too small an audience for the commercial broadcasters to be interested in paying for the equipment and running costs of broadcastings all of their channels.
