You can no longer access Scala Radio because the station has ceased broadcasting.
Scala Radio Has Ceased Broadcasting
Scala Radio, a national digital classical music station, is no longer available. The station officially stopped broadcasting in July 2024. This means it is no longer accessible on digital radio (DAB), via online streams, or through smart speakers.
Why Scala Radio is No Longer Available
The decision to close Scala Radio was made as part of broader operational changes within the media landscape. When a radio station ceases operations, it typically removes its broadcast signal from digital radio multiplexes and discontinues its online streaming services. Consequently, listeners attempting to tune in will find the station slot either empty, removed from their device's station list, or leading to an error message.
