Format
The station broadcasts nothing but back-to-back popular music; tracks which have entered the UK Singles Chart in the last 30 years. In addition the station also broadcasts live national and international news updates at the top of each hour, followed by a local weather report for Nottingham, and the surrounding area.
Future
New Sound Radio hopes to begin three-day Restricted Service Licence (RSL) broadcasts on the FM band in Nottingham in the not too distant future.
As yet, the station does not intend applying for any form of full-time licence to broadcast in the FM band, and it is extremely unlikely the station will ever be granted one. However, the station is looking at the possibilities of launching a full-time service on Sky Digital and Virgin Media Cable, as well as DRM, the new digital radio format which uses the existing AM band.
