Radio Frequencies
I have listened to Greatest Hits radio and understand they have introduced a new station called Greatest Hits 60 s but I can't find out how to tune into it. Any advice please.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The Government announced many years ago that VHF/FM broadcast services were planned to end by 2015, with all VHF/FM stations moving to DAB (or, of course, to online streaming). The VHF/FM switch-off has repeatedly been delayed but the current target is for all such services to end by 2030.
So any new stations that now appear will inevitably be on DAB (or, more accurately, on the newer DAB+), as there's little point in adding them to the VHF/FM line-up at this late stage. (There's not enough space in the VHF/FM broadcast spectrum for additional stations anyway).
So you'll need a DAB+ radio to receive any new stations. (If you've already got one, you'll need to invoke the 'tune' procedure to add new stations to its line-up).
