New satellite audio services here

Four new 24/7 satellite audio services will be available starting at 9 a.m. Central European Time Thursday for people who own or rent an AFN decoder.

The services are Gravity, a rhythmic/contemporary hits radio service; Drive X, a mix of trance and techno; Jack FM, hits from hot adult contemporary and adult rock; and Classic Rock, rock from the early ’60s to early ’80s.

For details on the services, including what decoder channel to tune in to, go to www.afneurope.net.

There are 67,000 individually owned or rented decoders in Germany, Italy, Belgium, Iraq and Afghanistan. The changes will not affect AFN Europe’s AFN The Eagle radio, which is heard mostly on FM frequencies. Overnight AFN Power Network listeners will hear a minor change when classic rock takes the place of oldies. Power Network radio services are broadcast on AM and FM signals in Europe. Decoder users may also listen to AFN The Eagle on channel 37 and the Power Network on channel 35.
