UCB on DAB

At noon on Monday, United Christian Broadcasters officialy launched two of their progrmame channels on five DAB radio systems covering large areas of England and Wales.

Earlier this year UCB launched their UCB UK flagship station on the London DAB multiplex, closely followed by the DAB multiplex covering Staffordshire and South Cheshire.

Last week UCB UK, together with it’s sister station UCB Inspirational, became available on DAB multiplexes covering the North-East of England, the North-West of England, Yorkshire, the West Midlands of England and areas of England and south Wales around the Severn Estuary.

UCB started broadcasting in the UK at 10pm on 5th October 1987, with four hours every evening coming from the transmitters of Manx radio – the first ever independent Christian radio broadcasts in the United Kingdom.

This week's launch on the DAB multiplexes brings the UCB reach to around 30 million people.

UCB believes that its vision for national Christian radio will be realised 'little by little' (Deut 7:33), or region by region. This has been the way of things so far.

They are looking to God to reveal His perfect will and timing for the extension of their DAB broadcasts to Northern Ireland, to Scotland and to outstanding areas in the south and east of England.
