The East Hampshire small-scale DAB multiplex has expanded its coverage by adding a third transmitter near Alton. <\/p>\n

This new transmitter increases the network\u2019s reach by 76 percent, now covering 66,995 people according to Ofcom.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The multiplex carries eleven services, including Shine Radio from Petersfield, Wey Valley Radio from Alton, Radio Victory, V2 Radio, Angel Radio and Angel Gold.<\/p>\n

East Hampshire DAB was established to bring digital radio to communities where reception has been limited by the area\u2019s challenging landscape.<\/p>\n

The service now covers audiences in and around Petersfield, Liphook, Alton and Bordon, and its signal extends along the A3 from the Hindhead Tunnel to Butser Hill.<\/p>\n

This expansion helps close the reception gap between South Coast multiplexes and those serving London and Surrey.<\/p>\n

The network was designed by small-scale DAB specialist Ash Elford, who said the addition of the Alton transmitter is a positive step for listeners, especially those of Wey Valley Radio, who can now access their local station on DAB.<\/p>\n

Ash also noted there is still capacity for more services to join the multiplex and reach listeners across East Hampshire.<\/p>\n
