I work from home so often have the radio on for company. As I am in a job which requires me to think hard most of the time I need a station that will provide entertainment without being too much of an intrusion! Where to find it Classic FM is between 100 - 102 fm on an analogue radio and 100.6 - 100.9 on a digital one. It varies slightly depending on where you are in the country - so worth having a play to get the best reception. What to expect? Well as the name suggests classic FM plays classical music! It has come an awful long way since the days when it first started with a reportoire of approximately 10 CDs which were played on a loop. ...  Read the complete review

Classic fm is available throughout the globe on their website and on digital radio stations. One of the most popular parts of the radio station is the classic fm hall of fame. This is extremely popular especially with my parents. The station provides a run down of the 300 most popular classical songs and scores. The music is really worth a listen and it is easy to get caught up in the atmosphere of the station. Some of the presenters on the show include, Nick Bailey, Howard Goodall and Mike Read. They are all excellent and provide some really enjoyable interluding pieces prior and after the scores played. I used to hate classic fm. My parents ...  Read the complete review

I would have given this a five-star rating for its musical content, presenters, information and general goodness, were it not for the adverts. I realise that the adverts keep the station going in terms of revenue, but they are sooooooo annoying. The other night I had just listened to a movement from the wonderful Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No 2, and no sooner had the final bars died away than I was listening to yet another advert for World Vision. If you have time to listen to Classic FM all day, you will soon realise that they play the same dozen or so adverts over and over again - as if the more times we hear them the more likely we are to go and buy the item or ...  Read the complete review

Are you sick of listening to the same old radio shows, and bored with hearing the same old records played over and over again. Why not try something different like Classic F.M. They play mostly classical music, but you do not have to be middle class to enjoy this type of music. They have a good range of music by various composers, they also have the latest news and weather bulletins throughout the day. They also run competitions, the current one is for a food hamper. Why not try it and see what you think. ...  Read the complete review

I think Classic FM is a superb idea. Finally there is proof that Classical music is not dead after all. It has long been a popular opinion among those of the pop-world that Classical music is a 'has-been' art, and the fact that it doesn't make it into the charts, and that public performances required subsidy, was supposed to be proof. Then along comes Classic FM and is very quickly the most listened-to commercial station. Fantastic!! Having said that, I still can't stand to listen to it a lot of the time. My biggest gripe is that the channel seems to be one quarter music and three quarters adverts, news, travel and weather. I know it's a ...  Read the complete review
