GlitterBeam is extending its reach across Kent and South London on DAB while opening a new studio in Chatham.
The station will now be available on small scale DAB multiplexes across the region, increasing access in the South East.
Alongside the expansion, a new studio which has been named Auravine, has opened at the Dockside Outlet Centre in Chatham. The space is designed to support live broadcasting, interviews and podcast production in one location.
Auravine includes areas for guest interviews and content creation, alongside facilities for recording and streaming video.
Multiple cameras are installed throughout the studio to capture live sessions and performances for distribution across digital platforms.
The studio also features adaptable lighting designed to respond to different shows and events, creating a consistent visual identity for output. A custom neon installation forms a central visual element within the space and is intended to be recognisable across video content.
Eugenio Ceriello, co-founder of GlitterBeam, said: “Expanding on DAB across the whole of Kent and South London allows us to reach more listeners than ever before, while Auravine represents our vision for the future of GlitterBeam.”
Michael Walton-Dalzell, co-founder, added that the studio had been built to support radio, podcasts and video production from a single location, giving the station flexibility as it grows its output.
