"Chill" seems to be the order of the day over at Global. As well as the spin-off stations for Smooth and Capital, Radio X recently launched a "chilled" strand in the evenings, and Classic FM expanded theirs.

I'm looking forward to hearing how they manage to make "LBC Chilled" work.

I'm now imagining Nick Ferrari doing ASMR. Put me off my lunch.

A station full of good news stories to lift your heart.

Non-stop orchestral & slower versions of the jingles 24/7. Featuring orchestral & slowed down versions of the Heart, Capital & Gold jingles thrown in for good measure. If LBC Chilled was this, count me in!

Goodness me! Global is launching station after station......I am very impressed!

Could there be a third new station in the pipeline?

I’m guessing they must have bought the space previously occupied by the three Jack stations on SDL, so assuming the new stations are using a similar bitrate, there’s probably space for another.

Another Radio X spin-off would make sense if they want to position it as more of a rival to the extensive Absolute brand. The launch of Radio X Classic Rock does feel rather like they’re parking their tanks on Absolute’s lawn.

I guess the thinking is Radio X has kind of got the larger potential audience now, with having two FM licences compared Absolute having given up their Analogue presence , although I think X is DAB+ only and Absolute is regular DAB. It makes sense to try and overtake it as a brand.
