How to listen to Central Radio

    Wondering how to listen?

    Central Radio broadcasts on DAB+ (digital radio) across Blackpool, Wyre & the Fylde coast - and soon in 2023 we’re coming to Preston, Leyland, Chorley and then later in 2023 we'll launch our service across Wigan and St Helens.

    To listen on DAB+
    If you’re in our broadcast area you’ll be able to pick up Central Radio on your DAB+ digital radio.  Most modern radio sets and car stereos include DAB+ but you might need to retune your stereo to pick up Central Radio.  You can usually find an option in the settings menu of your radio to retune, and once that’s done, you’ll find Central Radio listed as an available station.
