Riverside Radio is set to join the brand-new South of the River DAB digital radio multiplex, marking an important milestone in the station’s growth and development across South West London.

From Friday 1 November, listeners will need to rescan or retune their DAB digital radios in order to continue receiving Riverside Radio. The move will significantly improve reception and audio quality, providing clearer and more consistent coverage throughout Wandsworth, Merton, Richmond, Lambeth and surrounding areas.

Stronger Signal, Wider Coverage

Joining the new multiplex means Riverside Radio will be available to more listeners than ever before, with enhanced signal stability both at home and on the move.

This upgrade forms part of Riverside Radio’s long-term commitment to expanding local broadcasting, strengthening community connection, and supporting local news, arts, music, business and sport.

How to Retune Your DAB Digital Radio

Retuning a digital radio is a straightforward process. Most UK DAB radios follow similar steps:

1. Switch on your DAB radio
2. Press the Menu or Settings button
3. Select Scan, Auto Scan, Auto-tune or Retune
4. Allow the scan to complete — this updates your station list
5. Select Riverside Radio from the refreshed list

In some cases, particularly if the station does not appear immediately, a full scan may be required. Car radios may update automatically, but drivers who experience issues can perform a manual service update via the vehicle’s infotainment settings.

Further information will also be shared on air and across Riverside Radio’s digital platforms.

A New Era for Local Broadcasting

Riverside Radio has served South West London for over a decade, providing trusted local journalism, entertainment, culture coverage and community storytelling. This transition to the South of the River DAB multiplex represents a major step forward for local broadcasting and ensures Riverside Radio remains accessible to the growing audience it serves.

Listeners are encouraged to retune from 1 November to continue enjoying the station’s programming and community-focused content.
