CLASSIC FM is described by Quentin Curtis as 'Britain's first new national station in 25 years' but is it? Although Atlantic 252 is based in the Irish Republic, it is a commercial station which is available throughout the United Kingdom - its target audience being the British.
This 24-hour national commercial radio station has been available in Britain since September 1989.
