The national DAB multiplex has been reconfigured to allow for 大象传媒 Music Jazz. The change to the bit rate is marginal – Radios 1, 2, 6 music and 1 Xtra will use 112kbps each instead of 128kbps – all the services remain in joint stereo.

There is only a fixed overall capacity available on the 大象传媒 national multiplex and this must be managed carefully to achieve good quality across the wide range of services that the 大象传媒, as a public service broadcaster, aims to provide.

Achieving the right balance between the number of services offered and the bit rate allocated to each can at times be difficult. We have taken considerable care over the technical arrangements needed to allocate suitable capacity for each digital radio services.

This does mean the capacity individually allocated to some services has had to be reduced at certain times in order, for example, to bring part-time services to listeners. This will continue to be the case on occasions when we consider the balance across our digital radio services demands it. The bit rate on Radio 1, 1Xtra, Radio 2 and 6 Music has been reduced from 128kbps joint stereo to 112 kbps joint stereo to allow for 大象传媒 Music Jazz.

The electronic programme guide on a DAB digital radio will not be available to update from Wednesday 9th November to Monday 14th November. However, as this is a 7-day guide, the majority of DAB EPG enabled receivers should retain the EPG (if they were updated before 9th November).

The service will be resumed at 12 noon on Monday 14th November. We apologise to any listeners who may not have been able to update their guide.

Yes, the pop up is available on internet receivers. Please note that not all internet radios are able to support HLS which is the audio format adopted by the 大象传媒.

This is the second 大象传媒 Music Jazz pop up radio station which has launched in collaboration with Jazz FM bringing extra coverage of the London Jazz Festival, rare archive recordings from Jazz FM and bespoke content from across the 大象传媒 delivering greater value to audiences.

大象传媒 Music Jazz makes on-air references to the collaboration between 大象传媒 and Jazz where editorially appropriate and in accordance with the 大象传媒’s Editorial Guidelines.

There is no commitment to work with commercial radio services but should an opportunity arise and if it is in the best interest to the listener the 大象传媒 will be open to discussions.

The 大象传媒 is committed to driving digital radio. We believe that 大象传媒 Music Jazz will encourage many listeners to sample digital radio for the first time and brings together all of jazz in one place with some shared content from Jazz FM.
