DAB digital radio
We often get asked about 5 live sports extra's 'frequency' on digital radio. Many listeners are unable to find sports extra when they autotune their radios for the first time. Here's some help on how you can find us.
Sports extra is removed from the DAB spectrum between commentaries and because of this it is known as a secondary service. To access a secondary service you need to auto tune your radio when the service is actually broadcasting. Check the sports extra schedule here. That way your DAB set will store the station in its memory. If you autotune your radio for the first time when sports extra is not broadcasting, you won't be able to find us.
When sports extra is on air, you should find us right next to 5 live on the list of stations on your digital radio.
Lost the 5 live sports extra preset from your DAB Radio? Simply use the "autotune" button to rescan for all the available stations in your area or scroll through the list of stations on your tuning button, and you will find sports extra next to 5 live.
