Scala Radio to become Magic Classical

Name change will take place from this September

Magic Chilled will also become Hits Radio Chilled

Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Media Audio UK announces that from this September classical music station, Scala Radio, will become Magic Classical joining the Magic Radio Network of 4.4million listeners.

Gary Stein, Director of Audio said: ‘As Magic Classical, Scala Radio will continue to bring its loyal listeners a playlist of familiar masters alongside contemporary classical music, whilst introducing the fantastic talent on the station to a whole new family of listeners.’

There will be no team changes and current Scala Radio Content Director Nick Pitts will become Content Director for Magic Classical alongside his same role at Jazz FM.

In addition to the changes for Scala Radio it was also announced today that digital station Magic Chilled will change its name to Hits Radio Chilled from September. The line up remains the same as listeners enjoy the very best laid back hits and throwbacks.
