Footnotes:

The region set out below for BBC local radio stations is the BBC One television region. So, for example, areas served by BBC One North West & BBC One West Midlands can receive BBC Radio Stoke on Freeview.
All radio stations on Virgin Media UK and Ireland are available on each platform's respective TV 360 boxes, but are not identified on a number and can only be viewed via the Radio app on the home menu, thus that data isn't represented here. Similarly, radio stations aren't featured on Sky Glass, but some are included in apps such as Global Player and BBC Sounds, as listed here.
