Wey Valley Radio goes DAB+ – and more than doubles its reach

03.08.2026 - United Kingdom United Kingdom

Alton’s voice just got a lot louder. Wey Valley Radio is now on digital radio right across East Hampshire, taking its potential audience from around 25,000 people to almost 67,000. The community station, based in Alton, is now broadcasting on DAB+ digital radio across East Hampshire – opening the station up to tens of thousands of listeners who could not previously hear it on the airwaves. The move takes the station’s potential audience from around 25,000 people within reach of its 101.1 FM signal to 66,995 across the wider area. Wey Valley Radio’s arrival on DAB caps a long and happy collaboration with its friends at Petersfield’s Shine Radio in a three-year effort to bring small-scale DAB to East Hampshire.
