Why isn't BBC Radio York available on digital radio?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions at BBC Radio York. So what's the answer?

The BBC's local radio stations are broadcast on multiplexes run by commercial operators and are licensed by OFCOM.

The BBC is allocated capacity for its local radio services on these local multiplexes when they are launched.

So the BBC is only able to make a local radio service available on DAB when a local multiplex has been established. At present the multiplex for North Yorkshire has not been launched which means the BBC is not able to offer BBC Radio York on DAB yet.

Commercial company MuxCo were awarded a Digital Radio licence to cover North Yorkshire in December 2007. The company currently aim to launch the service in December 2009.

Listeners wishing to find out more about local multiplexes in their area should contact OFCOM.
