Scala over the last three or four years has helped my wife and I stay calm and would also say reasonably sane. The worse time being the Covid lock down.We moved to Scala when we heard Simon Mayo was having a program of his own, never looked back.The main stream programs such as radio two were our original source of music entertainment, they then started at times to become irritating. Listening to some of the presenters uttering just what I term as pointless juvenile prattle akin to being in a school playground, I began to judge the presenters in what light they saw their audience as, what mental age and intelligence do you think your listeners are. The radio would go off.So back to listening to the beeb, on another day, then as if a red mist moment had just hit my consciousness RAP - Ahhhhhhhg! an absolute insult to music, radio straight off and stayed off.I have a wide scope of music interests, having in the past played in three bands, soft rock, country, soul with a mix of R&B.I still have my Premier acoustic set of drums. I recently donated my electronic set to one of my granddaughters Pippa who was showing a natural rhythm, drumming on anything nearby. See her 8 year old face light up, good for the soul. ❤️I have always had music on in the background from early days of radio Luxembourg, that dates me.My special thanks to your presenters for their company (and not talking drivel). We start the day off with Charles Nove, the occasional dry humour brings a smile or laughter from us both, keep it going Charles.Currently have the company of Angelica Bell, so calming to listen to, thanks Angelica and thank you to all of the presenters for your valued company, so many of you I do not wish to miss any of you out.Think from my feedback you may suspect we like Scala 😂😂, yes definitely. Kindest regards to all at Scala, please don’t change. Happy New Year to all.David and Dani Matthews Floaty boaty people on the Grand Union Canal.

Scala Radio has been extremely well thought out to fill a gap in the market where it might have seemed that one did not exist. The range of music played is much wider than found on its competitor stations. The presenters are able to talk about much more than just telling you what you have just heard or are about to listen to. Although only a young station, it has a level of maturity that makes me feel very comfortable and want to stay and enjoy its company. I’ve been a listener since the beginning and during that time it has grown and developed and just keeps getting better and better. The advent of Scala Radio Premium, where you are able to listen advert free for a small monthly fee, with access to a huge range of other classical stations, together with other stations from the Bauer stable, has really set it apart from its main competitor. This also gives the facility of skipping tracks if there’s something which doesn’t quite fit your mood or taste. I would have given 5 stars rather than 4, but unfortunately when using this app to AirPlay to my Apple HomePod mini, there are still issues with the sound dropping out for no particular reason. This can occur when trying to use my iPad for something else too. If this issue could be addressed to my satisfaction, I would be more than happy to move up to 5 stars.

Scala Radio is the best new station I’ve been fortunate to tune into. I love the vast variety of music which surely must hold something for everyone. I know it has completely revitalised my musical tastebuds and I switch on every morning with nothing short of glee at the thought of what I may hear and I haven’t been disappointed yet.The presenter are excellent and down to earth and the chance to take part in the show is an added bonus.Great prizes in the competitions too. I particularly like the imaginary one that Charles Nove offers for answering his questions of the day .All in all, well done Scala. I’m in for the long haul.

The app is good overall and I am making use of the premium facility so that I don’t have to listen to the adverts. However, I think the app could be improved for visually impaired people if all the buttons had labels on them rather than having images only, which is the case with some of the buttons in the app. Also, it would be nice if premium listeners could see what music is playing during advert breaks
