These are the radio station listings found on the Sky Electronic Programme Guide (EPG), also known as SkyGuide
All the BBC’s national radio stations along with many commercial stations are available on the Sky EPG.
No viewing card is required to listen, all the radio stations on Sky can be received on any digital satellite receiver.
Bitrates for some stations along with sound quality are better on satellite than on DAB.
Sky maintains an electronic programme guide (EPG) which provides information about upcoming programmes and a list of stations.
Radio stations available on Sky are assigned a three-digit logical channel number which can be entered on the remote control to access the channel and determines in what order channels are listed.
The EPG differs depending on the viewer’s location due to limited regional availability of certain channels or conditions relating to their must-carry status.
