The Eagle has Landed

Sorry to all those film buffs who thought I might do a review of the excellent 1976 film.  However, I really wanted to talk about the 96.4 variety and landed a slot on local DAB.  Today MuxCo, working with UKRD Group, has submitted an application for the Surrey & North Sussex multiplex.  Whilst we won’t […]

North Yorkshire Win

We had some good news last week, as Ofcom announced that MuxCo North Yorkshire Ltd had been awarded the licence for North Yorkshire.
We’ve said in the application that the multiplex will launch by the middle of 2009, but we’ll be working with our transmission provider, NGW and our MuxCo shareholders to fix a firmer date.

Oxford Licence

It’s disappointment all round here at MuxCo towers, as the news was revealled that NOWdigital had won the digital licence for Oxfordshire. We believed (and still do) that our application had the widest choice of services for listeners, so we’re a bit down that Ofcom awarded it to the other bidder.
Obviously, we’re pressing on and […]

Gloucestershire

We agreed at lunch that Gloucestershire was application number seven for MuxCo. It’s been an interesting one to do, partly because of its proximity to Hereford and Worcester which Ofcom awarded to MuxCo last month. In fact, we think it provides a great opportunity for the stations that broadcast on both multiplexes as it grows […]

Northampton

Congratulations to NOWdigital on the award of the local multiplex licence for Northampton. Both of the applications shared many similar services so hopefully it will be a good selection of stations when the multiplex launches. Anyway, you can’t win them all, back to finishing off Gloucestershire.

One day, two wins (three beers)

Great news at MuxCo headquarters, with wins for both MuxCo Northeast Wales & Cheshire and for MuxCo Herefordshire & Worcestershire announced today.  Great local radio is what we promised, and will now launch within the next 12 months.  Time for a quick drink and then on with writing our North Yorkshire application.

Ch..Ch..Ch.. Changes

Interesting to see our competitors, NOWdigital, changing their application a couple of months after submitting it. They said they would be provide a religious format - UCB UK. UCB, however, no longer want  to provide the station, so it’s been removed from their application with NOWdigital saying it will be replaced by an “unspecified local […]

Oxfordshire

It’s just coming up to three o’clock, which is the customary time for me to write a blog post about the latest application to go in. Oxfordshire’s been an interesting one to work on, a few ups and downs, but we’re incredibly pleased with what we’ve just submitted, we think it’s our best line-up yet.
11 […]
