Bauer Media has announced details of a new radio station that aims to “break the mould of classical music in the UK”.
Launching on March 4th, Scala Radio will be available via national DAB digital radio and online and is aimed at those “that love classical music, and lead a modern life”.
Leading the presenter line-up is Simon Mayo, who takes on the mid-morning show just weeks after leaving the BBC Radio 2 drivetime slot after eight years.
The new station – which Bauer describes as “the biggest launch in UK classical music radio in nearly 30 years – will feature Angellica Bell at weekends, a live Sunday brunch show from Chris Rogers and a show focusing on film scores from Mark Kermode.
