[cma-l] DAB Digital Radio celebrated in Manchester

[CMA-L]

Manchester’s digital radio scene was celebrated at a special event attended
by figures from BBC, commercial and community radio on Thursday evening.

"Doing the DAB" at Texture Bar heard that in the last year forty new
digital stations have launched in Manchester, including many new-to-air
local start-up stations, taking the number of digital stations now
available in the Manchester area to seventy six, more than double the
number available last year.

Many of the new stations have been made possible by the launch of the
Manchester Ofcom small-scale DAB multiplex, operated by Niocast Digital.
The multiplex, also known as a minimux, was launched in September 2015 and
is one of ten across the UK that forms part of an extended trial by Ofcom
and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

The event heard from a number of broadcasters who run stations on the
Manchester minimux including Chris Stevens, founder of Chris Country; John
Ryan, Chairman at Gaydio and founder of Max 80s; Julian Guest, Director of
Unity Radio; and BBC Radio Manchester presenter, Mike Shaft who pioneered
Manchester Cathedral Radio.

You can hear the event in full exclusively on inRadio tonight from 7pm.
Listen via TuneIn, website, Apple TV or Android/iPhone apps.
