    From their playlist today, the delightful: Schubert - Symphony #8 , 1st Mvt

    So that'll be … ?
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

            Actually the Great Cmaj is called No8 by some misguided people these days!

              In Germany this is the standard numbering. During my lifetime, the Great C Major has been numbered 7, 8 & 9.

                Back on topic, how does one find and tune into this new station? I tried retuning my tinny digital radio, without it appearing.

                  Well, Miranda Sawyer likes it, anyway. I quite like the Venn diagram comment.

                      I’ve tried too, on 3 different radios without success - perhaps it’s not got to the West yet, alps! However I got on on an app on the ipad.

                        Scala claims to be available nationally on DAB. However, I have not tried rescanning to find it. I don't feel the need.

                            "Mayo plays John Barry, Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty, that Figaro opera one (Rossini’s Largo al factotum), a classical version of Coldplay’s The Scientist. All whistleable, the type of classical music made popular by adverts and cinema scores, and the whole show really is easy listening, in the non-pejorative sense. I usually can’t work to Classic FM or Radio 3 – one is too cheesy, the other too cerebral … "

                            As one who doesn't find Radio 3 cerebral enough (or did she mean R3 was the cheesy one?), I tried it for about five minutes. I'd really prefer nothing at all .

                              I feel I can trust others here to do the dirty work on this one.

                                I don't know the answer to the question (#82), but a quick glance at my 2019 Radio Listener's Guide suggests a possible answer. I paraphrase: Scala Radio is not listed (RLG is published in December the year before), but Planet Rock is - this is only "available on from Digital 2 (Sound Digital / SDL) transmitters (on channel 11A) - which cover around 83% of the UK population. Digital 1 [which was the first DAB multiplex in the UK] transmitters broadcast to 91% of the UK population (on channel 11D in NI, England and Wales and 12A in Scotland)".
