Mirror: Olympics radio station to be launched by BBC.
The BBC is to launch a temporary Olympics radio station for London 2012.
The plan for a new digital and online service was given the go-ahead by the BBC Trust today.
It has also approved plans to devote youth channel BBC3 to broadcasting the event next summer for its duration.
But Freeview viewers will lose BBC Parliament to free up the broadcasting capacity on Freeview, but it will resume if Parliament is recalled in that time.
