At NOW Digital we try to offer a range of services to that
cater for different tastes and interests. We also try to ‘simulcast’
existing FM and AM stations that broadcast in local areas. NOW Digital,
cannot however force stations to join the multiplexes, it is up to them
whether they decide to broadcast on DAB. If there is a station that you
would like to hear on a local multiplex, we suggest contacting that
station directly and asking why they are not broadcasting to this area
on DAB Digital Radio. If they see that there is a demand for their
service it may encourage them to join the local multiplex.
