All of the licence awards for round 5 of the small-scale DAB multiplex process have been announced by Ofcom.
There were 26 areas applied for in the South West region, plus three re-advertised licence areas, which were awarded last year.
In a change of procedure, every award has been announced at once rather than a few at a time, but has taken over a year to be confirmed by the regulator.
This round includes the prestigious London licences made up of ‘North London’, ‘South London’ and ‘West London’ and ‘North East London & South West Essex’. – AWARDED 22/7/24
