Correct...CHILL was closed by the parent company on Cable and Sat, but they moved it to JAZZ on 961, but haven't changed the name (must be a contract thing)

I live in the Redbridge area and also have the same problem. Also I note that the volumn is low compared to other radio stations.
Mind you that is a blessing when Boozil and Parry are on air.
