About Magic Soul
Local Time:
Magic Classical is a UK national radio station dedicated to accessible, relaxing and uplifting classical music. The station brings together well-known pieces by composers such as Mozart, Beethoven and Bach, alongside modern classical works, soundtrack favourites and instrumental re-workings that make the format feel welcoming and easy to enjoy.
The station launched originally as Scala Radio before being rebranded as Magic Classical in September 2024, bringing it into Bauer Media’s wider Magic family. That gives the station a strong national identity while keeping its own distinctive focus on classical music, calm listening and a more contemporary presentation style than many traditional classical stations.
Magic Classical is owned by Bauer Media and is part of the wider Magic and Rayo portfolio. It is available across the UK on DAB Digital Radio, online, through the Rayo app and on smart speakers, making it easy for listeners to tune in at home, at work or on the move.
Magic Classical is likely to appeal to listeners who enjoy classical favourites, peaceful background music, film and television scores, modern orchestral recordings and a calmer, more approachable style of classical radio throughout the day.

- Charles Nove at Breakfast: weekday mornings from 7am-10am. A blend of vibrant and soothing classical music, with a light and humorous look at the day’s news stories.
