A further round of DAB digital radio transmitters carrying the BBC's national DAB radio staitons has been recently announced. The phased rollout will mean, on average, 3 new transmitters launching every fortnight.

In total, a further 162 transmitters are planned, which will launch alongside the existing network of local and national transmitters. The corporation has already outlined its intent to serve new areas and improve coverage in others, through the use of infill transmitters, where the DAB signal isn't robust enough. You can keep an eye on our news pages for details of transmitter launches.

The BBC's national DAB digital radio services are:

• BBC Asian Network (mono)

• BBC Radio 1

• BBC 1Xtra

• BBC Radio 2

• BBC Radio 3

• BBC Radio 4

• BBC Radio 4 Extra (mono)

• BBC Radio 5 Live (mono)

• BBC 5 Live Sports Extra (mono)

• BBC 6 Music

• BBC World Service (mono)
