All alarm clocks usually support one of the three main types of tuning, some work with them all.

AM for Medium Wave Broadcasts

AM is the oldest type of radio broadcasting, but it is still in use throughout the UK despite new technologies. You can tune in to a wide range of BBC, commercial and independent talk, news and sports stations from across the country.

FM for the Most Popular Music Stations

There are currently around 300 FM radio stations in the UK, including BBC Radio 1 through to BBC Radio 5 live, Capital FM, Heart Radio and Classic FM.

Radio Broadcasting of the Future—DAB+

If you want to listen to premium-quality audio, you need a radio alarm clock with DAB+. Digital radio may completely replace FM broadcasting in the next ten years, mainly due to its superior sound and wider possibilities.

Radio Alarm Clocks—Extra Features

Our selection of radio alarm clocks come with a wide range of features from the very basic to cutting edge technologies.

• Radio alarm clocks with Bluetooth enable wireless playback from your phone, laptop and other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
• Battery-operated radio alarm clocks are comfortable to take with you on the road.
• Retro radio alarm clocks look antiquated but can be packed full of modern features.
• Radio clocks are controlled by radio to give you the exact time and also, for example, the weather forecast.

Manufacturers often mix the functions, so pay attention to the parameters. A digital alarm clock may not have a radio, while an alarm clock with a thermometer might not give you details about the weather.

Projection Radio Alarm Clocks

Projection radio alarm clocks have a special laser that projects the time on the wall or ceiling. Digital alarm clocks for children can project various images, such as stars and planets or cartoon characters.

Radio Alarm Clocks—Design

The radio alarm clocks we have on offer are really diverse. Some are cylindrical, while others are triangular or cube-shaped. Though they differ in colour and dimensions, every radio alarm clock has a display. If you have a digital alarm clock controlled by radio signal, you can be sure that it will always show the exact time, even after a power outage or when the battery is low.

It's Not Just the Design That Sets Radio Alarm Clocks for Children Apart

You can easily spot radio alarm clocks for children at first sight due to their colourful design, often based on animated characters, animals, and so on. They normally come with a night light so that your children don't have to fall asleep in complete darkness.
