UCB UK coming to Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire

Ofcom have today announced the award of the new local Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) radio multiplex licence for Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire to NOWdigital Ltd (part of GCap Media).

NOWdigital is proposing to provide nine local digital sound programme services, including UCB UK.

Ofcom estimates that this licence could achieve coverage of an area with an adult (aged 15+) population of around 1,829,000 and expects NOWdigital to begin broadcasting at the earliest opportunity and no later than two years from this award date.

NOWDigital's application proposed to launch the service, using 7 transmitters, in July 2008.
