The multiplex, also known as a mini-mux, was launched in September 2015 and is one of ten across the UK that forms part of an extended trial by Ofcom and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.īy January the Manchester mini-mux expects to carry twenty one digital stations, the most of any of the ten trial areas. The driving force behind the expansion has been the success of the Manchester Ofcom small-scale DAB multiplex, operated by Niocast Digital. The event, named Doing the DAB, heard that in the last year forty new digital stations have launched in Manchester, including many new-to-air local start-up stations, taking the number of digital stations now available in the Manchester area to seventy six, more than double the number available last year. Manchester’s thriving digital radio scene was celebrated at a special event attended by the city’s leading figures from BBC, commercial and community radio, which took place at Texture Bar in central Manchester on the evening on Thursday 8 December.
