More community radio stations prepare DAB bids
Three community radio stations have teamed up with Niocast and the Dee Radio Group to submit applications in the second round of Ofcom’s small-scale DAB rollout.
The HitMix (Stoke & Newcastle), Beat Radio (Preston) and Halton Community Radio (Warrington, Widnes and Runcorn) are supported by DAB specialist Niocast and experienced commercial broadcaster, the Dee Radio Group in submitting applications in their respective areas.
Robbie Benson is Founder and Station Manager of The HitMix in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent: “I see small-scale DAB as the logical next development for the station. We’ll be loud and clear right across borough and city in high quality, offering listeners old and new an even better local service”, says Robbie.
