Times Radio...Do You Listen To It?

I only discovered this radio station lately.... well, l’d heard of it, so l asked my new Alexa and she found it for me!
There are many presenters and they discuss current affairs.

It’s available on DAB and via an App.

I mostly hear my broadcasts via Freeview TV and the last time I rescanned, Times Radio was not available

LD, That’s a shame, yet l would have thought you would have been able to get it, as it belongs to the BBC.

Oh come on! The BBC actually being considerate to their licence payers? Mine used to be free until this government allowed the BBC to charge everybody, regardless of their circumstances unless they go cap-in-hand and grovel.
I could go into another room and use the DAB, but why should I when I can choose from a long list of Freeview radio stations, with Classic FM being my favourite while I listen my comfortable recliner

Apparently not:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_Radio

Times Radio is a British digital radio station owned by News UK. It is jointly operated by Wireless Group (which News UK acquired in 2016), The Times and The Sunday Times.

News Corp UK & Ireland Limited (trading as News UK, formerly News International and NI Group) (CEO: Rebekah Brooks (remember her?)), is a British newspaper publisher, and a wholly owned subsidiary of the American mass media conglomerate News Corp (Rupert Murdoch: chairman and CEO (remember him?)).

It is the current publisher of The Times, The Sunday Times and The Sun newspapers; its former publications include the Today, News of the World and The London Paper newspapers.

Omah, You are correct and l read the search page wrongly. I thought l read it belonged to the BBC but rechecking the info, it stated many of the presenters had been poached from the BBC!

My Apologies to Long Driver, Pixie and all that may have been misled.

Re: Times Radio...Do You Listen To It?

I just tried it and I like it - Radio 4 just irritates me at the moment, mainly due to politicians refusing to answer a direct yes-or-no question despite repeated asking. I used to enjoy lying in bed in the morning and listening to Radio 4 for half an hour but it seems those days are over.
