<div>Hi everyone.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We’ve done some homework regarding the cost of the DAB trials - If I’m stating the obvious/cross posting I apologise. However, I thought you might appreciate my sharing this with you.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ofcom are providing the equipment but:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You would have to pay for someone to install it etc…</div>
<div>You would have to pay for transmission site & other costs, eg. Electric…</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Plus then there are the licence Fees…</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You'd need to apply for a DSPS Licence Cost £250</div>
<div>Ofcom have waived the Annual Fee so that saves £100</div>
<div>PPL Licence Fee is £500 + vat flat fee for the 9 months = £600</div>
<div>PRS Licence Fee is £0 if you are a licence FM Station… as long as you don’t generate more then£29,499 in Net Broadcasting Revenue during the 9 month trial.</div>
<div>However, If you are an online only station you must be already licenced by them for the online service and then they will charge you £705.25 + vat = £846.30… as long as you don’t generate more then£29,499 in Net Broadcasting Revenue during the 9 month trial.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>So the trial will cost you …</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Existing FM Community Station min £850 + Installation Fee</div>
<div>Exisitng Online Only Station min £1696.30 + Installation Fee</div>
