Jazz London Radio to broadcast on DAB + in London for one month
Jazz London Radio is London’s internet jazz station broadcasting a variety of jazz twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Jazz London Radio is pleased to announce a one month pop up transmission for London based DAB listeners to tune in and enjoy:
Background
The idea to broadcast a jazz radio station out of London was born in 2014. Inspired by the radio stations I heard on satellite radio from France, Italy and Germany in the 1990s and early 2000s, I wanted a radio station which covers a range of music, primarily in the jazz setting. Having spent my student years listening to John Peel on BBC Radio 1, the idea of music played on the radio without any real categorisation appealed to me greatly. The result, daily playlists which mix all of this music together under the great jazz umbrella, music played in the jazz spirit of creativity and freedom, whether that be indie, electronica or straight ahead jazz.
Station Owner and Programme Director: Laurie Burnette

When does transmission begin? Jazz London Radio will broadcast
