So, our final application has been awarded - North Wales! This completes the first round of MuxCo applications and overall we’re very happy. Whilst HBB, Northants and especially Oxford would have fitted in beautifully to the MuxCo family, you can’t have everything can you?
We’re now getting on and building these things so we can get […]
Ofcom has just called Gregory to say that we’ve been successful with our application for the Somerset DAB Digital Radio multiplex. This is good news for MuxCo and its local partners who can now more easily make the transition to DAB. It also means that new stations and services will be able to start broadcasting on […]
Sorry for the late update about our win yesterday for Surrey and Sussex, but we’ve been buys finishing off our application for Somerset, which i’ve just submitted. Thankfully Will at Ofcom’s told me that they’ve received it (you’re never quite sure if it might disappear into the black whole of the internet when you hit […]
Apologies for the slight delay on writing this post but yesterday I was at the Student Radio Association’s Conference in Bath, talking about digital stuff on a panel with Nick Piggott from GCap, Will Jackson from Ofcom and Ben Perreau from sky.com. It was a really good session with some excellent questions from the students. […]
With five multiplexes in the bag we thought we’d ask our transmitter company, National Grid, to do us a map of all the prospective multiplexes. They say a picture paints a thousand words and it certainly does in this case. Gregory was showing the map off in the office like a proud father.

We’ve just heard from the good people of Ofcom that we’ve been awarded the licence for the Lincolnshire multiplex. Which is good because as we’re the only bidder and it would have been a bit embarrassing if they had chosen not to give it to us!
With one million DAB Digital Radios sold in the last […]
I don’t know, two posts in two days, this is almost like a real blog!
Today we submitted our application for the Lincolnshire multiplex alongisde our partner shareholder, Lincs FM Group. Michael Betton and the Lincs FM team have been a really great bunch of people to work with and collectively we’re very pleased with what […]
Even though Gregory tried to send me out of the room as I am apparently ‘cursed’ when i’m in the office on award days, MuxCo Gloucestershire Ltd has been awarded the DAB Digital Radio multiplex licence for Gloucestershire!
We are very pleased, especially for the common service providers who are on both Hereford & Worcestershire and […]
You could describe some of the staff here at MuxCo towers as ‘radio anoraks’, we try and conceal it, but sometimes you just have to have a quick round of ‘Name That TSA’, don’t you? We’ve never been shy to have geeky chats with other enthusiasts, so we thought it was right that we set […]
