WCR and Ashdown Radio apply to Ofcom for extending official coverage area

Community radio stations Ashdown Radio in Uckfield and WCR in Warminster have applied to change their transmission areas.

In an application to Ofcom, Ashdown Radio says it wants to add an extra transmitter in Heathfield after it was refused permission to increase its current transmitter power with the aim of extra coverage a couple of years ago.

Meanwhile, WCR wants its 105.5FM transmitter to be powered up to serve an extra 8,419 listeners, giving stronger reception to more people in and around the Wiltshire town.

The Technical Change Request Forms were both published this month on the Ofcom website and decisions on the requests should be made public next year.
