United Kingdom - Details of Trials - History

30.09.2014

The BBC has recently announced they are doing a technical trial for DAB+ in Scotland in 2014.

 UK broadcasters plan to set up a test route for service following in June 2014. 

Small -scale low cost DAB

The UK has several hunderd small-scale FM and AM stations.  While the existing DAB infastructure is suitable for larger stations, the wide area coverage and relatively high costs of the existing country-wide structure are not suited to the needs of small-scale broadcasters.  Following an initial trial carried out in Brighton during 2012/13, Ofcom has been given funding by the UK Department for Culture Media and Sport to test the techinical scope for small-scale low cost DAB.  Ofcom will be carrying out further techinical tests over the remainder of this year and hope to launch a small number of pilots with stations early next year.  Ofcom are working on developing a new licensing regime, which will aim to meet the needs of small stations.
