The Big Switch

 

The Big Switch to DAB+ 

Like many other broadcasters we're changing the coding of our DAB signals to DAB+ and we will use this page to notify these changes and any other coverage changes as they take place.

DAB+ encoding generally allows a wider range of services to be broadcast in an area and/or an improved sound quality for listeners. However, a small number of sets are not capable of decoding newer DAB+ signals.  

If a set cannot decode the signal the station may not appear on the list of available stations or it may appear on the list but be silent.

Unfortunately, if you are no longer able to receive a station because your DAB radio cannot decode DAB+, you will need to find an alternative way to tune in (such as Radio Player or Alexa) - or upgrade your radio to one which is capable of receiving DAB+ stations.

Forthcoming changes:

If you listen to More Radio on DAB Digital Radio - get set for the Big Switch to DAB+ on Thursday 1st October.

 

We’re upgrading to DAB+ to bring you higher quality stereo audio – and you may need to rescan your radio and reset your pre-set after the change.

 

There’s no change to More Radio on FM or online, if you already listen via those platforms.
