The small-scale DAB multiplex for South Gloucestershire has launched allowing local radio stations to ‘go digital’.
Local not for profit company, South Glos Digital Community Interest Company (SGDCIC), has successfully launched the operation covering a large part of South Gloucestershire along with the crossroads.
The company is supported by Thornbury Radio, community donations and grants from Thornbury Town Council and Thornbury Rotary, and has Nick Piggott from Muxnet as technical consultant and technical provider.
David Wrench, Director of SGDCIC said, “Our DAB transmissions will benefit listeners across South Gloucestershire by bringing them a wider choice of radio stations including a new way to listen to Thornbury Radio.”
Thornbury Radio’s mid-morning presenter Simon Criddle said he would haev his legs and chest waxed, if the community donation target of £3000 was reached – which it was.
So, on Friday 18th October 2024 he was waxed live on air encouraged by fellow presenter Greg Robinson at a local Spa.
