About Durham Digital

Our state-of-the-art transmitters are now on the air across Darlington and the south of County Durham and we hope to add the northern parts of the county in the near future.

Established and operated by local people with vested interests in creating quality radio services for the area, Durham Digital was primarily set up to support local community radio stations in the delivery of their social gain objectives by offering affordable access to DAB radio frequencies in the County Durham and Darlington areas. Now all types of local radio stations can also benefit from the latest technology and our assistance in establishing their service on Britain's newest broadcasting platform.

Our multiplex will eventually carry more than twenty different services in digital quality, all of them new to digital radio in this area.

COMMUNITY RADIO

Are you running a community radio station, or would you like to? Whether it’s for your local area or for people with a common interest, we can get you onto DAB

HOSPITAL RADIO

With hospital stays getting shorter and more patients recovering in the community, many hospital stations are finding it useful to be heard in the surrounding area.

STUDENT RADIO

If you’re an established student radio station, or if your university, college or school would like to start one, now you can afford to broadcast on digital radio.

COMMERCIAL BROADCASTERS

At last smaller commercial radio stations can afford to be heard on DAB. You’ll be sharing the cost of the transmitter so it works out far cheaper than conventional FM or AM broadcasting.

NATIONAL NETWORKS

Specialist or niche radio stations can now reach targeted audiences across the country by taking space on selected local multiplexes at reasonable rates.
