Absolute Radio is no longer on FM in London
There are limited FM frequencies available in London, and so our parent company Bauer Media has made the decision to reallocate one of the already available frequencies (105.8FM) to Greatest Hits Radio. But don't worry there are still lots of ways to listen to us.
I only have FM radio in my car, how can I still listen to Absolute Radio?
Great news, with a low-cost DAB converter or adapter you'll still be able to listen to us in your car. You can also listen to all our other stations in the Absolute Radio family too.
You can also download the Absolute Radio App on your phone and connect to us via Bluetooth or USB connector.
Just type in 'Absolute Radio' into your app store on your phone and you can download the App for free.
Why am I hearing Greatest Hits Radio on Absolute Radio's FM frequency in London?
Greatest Hits Radio is another of Bauer Media's radio stations and will be taking over the 105.8FM in London.
