Sport Commentaries
We sometimes broadcast a different programme on our DAB service. This is often an extra football commentary or music show. For example, we could have our usual programme on 94.9fm (analogue) and a different match on DAB (digital).
How do we do this? simple, we send our usual programme to the FM transmitter and our extra football commentary to the DAB transmitter.
BENEFITS OF DAB
Clearer signals, improved sound, more stations to choose from, no need to re-tune as you travel and more text information to be made available in the future.
