Global’s 12 new radio station names confirmed

All of the names for Global’s 12 new radio stations have been revealed ahead of their launch tomorrow.

The stations are Capital Anthems, Classic FM Calm, Classic FM Movies, Heart 10s, Heart Love, Heart Musicals, Radio X Chilled, Radio X 90s, Radio X 00s, Smooth 70s, Smooth 80s and Smooth Soul.

Capital Anthems and Smooth 80s will be national on D2, with the rest going on DAB digital radio multiplexes in London.

Whilst Capital, Heart, Smooth and Radio X already have sister stations, it’s the first time Classic FM will get a brand extension.

James Rea, Chief Broadcasting and Content Officer at Global, said: “Global is transforming British radio with one of the largest simultaneous launches in UK history. Our new stations offer audiences unprecedented choice and we’re hugely excited about them.

“These new radio stations are unique and distinctive, and perfectly complement each radio brand. From Heart’s non-stop love songs to the anthems Capital made famous and the world’s greatest film music on Classic FM – there really is something for everyone, for every mood, for every moment.

“You can easily access all these free stations on your smart speaker, in your car, on your radio and on your phone with our app, Global Player.”
