A service channel signal transmission system in which a service channel signal is constantly fed to at least two radio channels in parallel. Each intermediate repeater station has a service channel demodulator which is constantly connected to either one of the radio channels. A combining and switching circuit automatically switches over the service channel demodulation to the other radio channel in response to an alarm output which indicates an abnormality in a received signal at a receiver associated with the one radio channel. The service channel is completely switched from one to the other without resorting to line switchover control signals from terminal stations.
