   At last.
   It has taken for too long to get DAB for BBC Hereford and Worcester. I am glad that free Radio (Hopefully the Worcestershre version and not Birmingham or Wolverhampton) is to be included.

   I have had a DAB redio permanently waiting for this for 6 years! Surely, your licence was only for 7 years.
   However – I am grateful for small mercies. At last BBC H&W will not be the poor relations of BBC Local Radio. HOORAY!
   By the way, you were originally also going to transmit Radio Gloucestershre from the same transmitters, is that still the case?

   Hi Bob

   It has taken longer than we had hoped, I am really sorry about that.

   It is likely that Hereford & Worcester and Gloucester multiplexes will launch at the same time – end of September is the current expectation (final excruciating wait thanks to massive BT delays), but the multiplexes will be distinct, on different frequencies and different transmitters. There was talk of merging the multiplexes but ultimately that was not a route along which we proceeded.

   I hope you can get both from where you are. Yes the Free Radio version will be the Worcester one.

   Thank you for your prompt reply.
   I have had a Pure DAB Radio just waiting from 2007 with a pre-progrmmed button permanantly waiting for BBC Hereford and Worcester. Free Radio Worcester (Ex Wyvern?)is a bonus.
