Among the many Spanish radio stations on the air, Cadena Dial has garnered a great deal of notoriety. It is one of the most popular radio stations in Spain, with more than two million listeners per day. Cadena Dial is produced in Madrid, Spain, and broadcasts in Catalonia. The station is currently available on FM radio, DTT, and online. Its most popular programming schedule includes Spanish and Catalan pop music, talk music, and news. Cadena Dial is also one of the few Spanish radio stations that play music in English. The station is owned by the Spanish media conglomerate Grupo PRISA.
The station's flagship station is located on 91.1 FM in Madrid, and a second station, Cadena Dial Europa, can be heard on 99.0 FM in Madrid. In April 2017, Cadena Dial began broadcasting on DTT, making it the first Spanish radio station to do so. It is also one of the few stations in the world to broadcast a full hour of music in English. The station is aimed at a family-friendly audience, and has been around since 1990. Cadena Dial was first a generalist station, but has since evolved into a music-only station. The station was also the first to broadcast Catalan in Catalonia. The station is one of the best music radio stations in Spain, and is popular among younger listeners, a demographic for which it is not always easy to find a station to cater to.
