National commercial DAB network operator turns up the power

Digital One, the national commercial digital radio network operator, has boosted the power at fourteen of its transmitters, which carry digital-only stations Planet Rock, pop station Core and books-and-plays channel Oneword.

The power increase became possible after negotiations with ntl, the commercial radio regulator, the Radio Communications Agency and RTE in Southern Ireland over any issues of possible interference.

  • Holme Moss

  • Mendip

A further five transmitters are due to see a power boost in the near future, with increases for Craigkelly, Kirk O'Shotts, Sutton Coldfield, Turners Hill, and Pendle Forest.
