This is a petition to get Chill Radio back on air in Bristol, Bournemouth, Cambridge, Cardiff, Exeter & Torbay, Kent, Norwich, Peterborough, Plymouth & Cornwall, Reading & Basingstoke, Southend & Chelmsford, Sussex Coast, Swindon and Severn Estuary, and Nottinghamshire.

With possibly London and Birmingham also at risk from Chill Radio ceasing to broadcast on DAB.

This most diverse Chilled DAB station was attracting 115,000+ listeners per week, with an audience that continued to grow. Global Radio and Arqiva extended the brand Galaxy and Heart Radio by removing Chill Radio. Although many other stations such Kiss, Capital, Real, and many other FM and DAB stations exist, Chill Radio was unique, fresh, diverse and extremely popular especially during the hard times we are all facing.

Removing Chill has alienated its growing army of fans, and we demand its return to DAB.

Very little attempts have been made to develop the station further in terms of sponsorship, live shows, promotion/advertising, live roadshows, Chill was enjoyed by all backgrounds and ages.

    • An unsung hero in British radio today. At least give the station a chance to become proffitable before you remove it. Does no company care about the listeners any more.
