If you listen to the radio in your car this site will help you get the best reception. The farther you drive the more times you'll have to re-tune your radio as you move in and out of different transmitters' reach. If you have a push-button radio you can programme the right frequencies in before you set out. For information showing the main BBC FM frequencies for the whole of the UK, click here .
Some car radios have a 'search' facility.
Search' doesn't work well in valleys or even, sometimes, in motorway cuttings. If you can, try to wait until you reach the top of the next rise or hill. Using medium or long wave Medium and long wave signals can travel farther than FM signals. This means that you won't have to re-tune your radio as much. However they cannot travel through large buildings or hills.
