Cancel by reason
Moving - change of residence
If you move and your subscription cannot be delivered or the service is no longer available at your new address, provide proof of new address such as a utility bill or tenancy agreement and a written request to cancel. Radio Times treats postal delivery issues as grounds to stop future deliveries. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
Price increase
If Radio Times increases the price for an existing subscription mid-term, you may cancel without penalty starting from the date the new price applies. Provide your subscription details and the date the increase took effect. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 cooling-off protections.
Death of subscriber
To cancel because of the death of the subscriber, send a copy of the death certificate and a cancellation request from the executor or next of kin to [email protected] or by post to Radio Times, 15 Alfred Place, WC1E 7EB London, United Kingdom.
Legitimate grounds accepted by Radio Times
Research indicates Radio Times accepts the following grounds: inability to deliver print copy to your address, withdrawal of the App by the store, or discontinued subscription packages. Provide matching evidence like delivery failure notices, app-store withdrawal notices, or communications from Radio Times. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.
End of commitment
For annual plans, you must cancel before the renewal date. Quarterly plans require at least 14 days notice before renewal. For annual cancellations mid-term there may be an administrative adjustment. Keep written confirmation showing cancellation date and retention of access until the paid period ends.
Cooling-off period
You have a 14-day cancellation right for distance contracts under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. To get a full refund, cancel within 14 days of the first payment or within 14 days of any renewal cooling-off period where notified. If you start using digital content and accepted immediate access, the digital exception may apply; check terms. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
Negotiate or save
Before you cancel - negotiate
Radio Times retention offers are limited according to research; the company has previously described some price levels as unsustainable and did not publish standard retention discounts. Ask support for any available reduced rate, a discounted annual upgrade or a pause in deliveries when you call or email. Use your account reference and offer to cancel to request a retention price or a fixed-term discount. If the agent declines, request written confirmation of the offer or refusal.
What cancelling saves you - exact math
Examples using published prices:
- Monthly app plan: £12.99 x 12 = £155.88 per year.
- 3-month app plan: £11.33 x 12 = £135.96 per year (calculated as £11.33 monthly equivalent).
- 12-month app plan: £10.83 x 12 = £129.96 per year. Annual price listed: £129.99.
- Discounted annual subscription: £5.83 x 12 = £69.96 per year. Annual price listed: £69.99.
- Weekly Google Play plan advertised as £1 per week: £1 x 52 = £52.00 per year (billed weekly).
Cheapest competitor from research: Televisual at £85.00 per year. Example savings compared to Radio Times discounted annual subscription:
- Radio Times discounted annual: £69.99 per year.
- Televisual annual: £85.00 per year.
- Verdict: Radio Times discounted annual at £69.99 remains cheaper than Televisual at £85.00 by £15.01 per year.
Legal protections and escalation
Key consumer laws
Your rights derive from the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 includes specific protections for digital subscriptions and renewal cooling-off notices. See the text at Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the cooling-off provisions in the 2024 Act at Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.
Cooling-off and refunds
You have a 14-day right to cancel distance contracts with a full refund unless you gave express consent to immediate digital access. If you cancel within 14 days, Radio Times must refund payments within 14 days of being informed. If the App is withdrawn or subscriptions discontinued, Radio Times or the app store may provide a pro-rata refund.
Escalation steps
1. Complain to Radio Times support with evidence and a clear remedy request. 2. If unresolved, contact Citizens Advice for guidance. 3. For payment disputes use your card issuer for chargeback or Section 75 where applicable. 4. Consider reporting unfair auto-renewal or hard-to-cancel practices to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
What to do after cancelling Radio Times
Access and final billing
After cancellation your subscription remains active until the end of the paid period unless you cancelled within a 14-day cooling-off period and requested an immediate refund. Keep confirmation emails showing the cancellation date and the expiry of service access.
Data and account
Request a copy of personal data via support or use account settings to delete account data if you no longer want Radio Times to hold personal information. Keep copies of any messages sent and any return confirmations.
Re-activation
You can re-subscribe at any time. Gift subscriptions do not auto-renew. If you re-subscribe within a promotional period, watch for one-off introductory pricing limits; trials are usually limited to one per customer.
