ExmouthDAB, operated by DevonAir Radio, has submitted its application to run the small-scale DAB multiplex for the Exmouth and Dawlish area.
As part of the next phase of small-scale DAB rollout, the proposed multiplex will cover a population of over 70,000 adults.
Andy Green, Chair of ExmouthDAB and Station Manager at DevonAir Radio, said: “These are exciting times. This application gives us the opportunity to bring DevonAir Radio to even more listeners across Exmouth and Dawlish on DAB. We’re confident the coverage will closely match our current 106.4FM reach.
“The multiplex will also carry our new station, DevonAir Gold playing music from the 50s,60s and 70s, and we’re delighted that Exeter-based Access All Aerials – a fantastic station championing presenters with disabilities – plans to join the service, helping them reach a wider audience.”
ExmouthDAB is now asking for enquiries from anyone interested in broadcasting a digital station in the area by contacting julie@exmouthdab.com.
