About Classic FM Live Radio

The World's Greatest Music A radio station dedicated to classical music

Classic FM (styled as CLASSIC fM) is one of the United Kingdom's three Independent National Radio stations and is owned and operated by Global. The station broadcasts classical music and was launched in 1992.

Classic FM was the first national classical music station to launch since the opening of BBC Radio 3, 25 years earlier, in September 1967, and 46 years since the opening of Radio 3's predecessor, The Third Programme, in September 1946. Until March 2019, when Scala Radio was launched, it was the only privately-owned classical music radio service broadcasting terrestrially in the UK; it is still, however, the only such service broadcasting on analogue FM radio.

As of June 2022, the station has a weekly audience of 4.9 million listeners
