Five more areas of the UK get small scale DAB
Ofcom has today awarded small-scale DAB multiplex licences for five more areas across the UK.
Small-scale DAB is an innovative technology which provides a low-cost way for local commercial, community and specialist music services to take to the digital airwaves.
So far over 100 multiplexes have launched, supporting a wide range of hyperlocal digital radio services broadcasting to listeners across all four nations of the UK.
Following a competitive process, where each applicant was judged against specific criteria, multiplex licences have been awarded for the five areas as follows:
- Ballymena: NIDAB Limited
- Barnsley: Barnsley Community Media
- Lincoln: Maxxwave Limited
- South West Fife: C.I. Broadcasting Limited
- South West Sussex: West Sussex Digital Radio Limited
