Gibraltar - Current situation - History
01.10.2013
The transmission provider Arqiva announced in May 2012 that it had been awarded a contract to design and build two DAB+ multiplexes for Gibraltar. The two multiplexes will each allow for four separate services. The transmitters are located at a single site on the Upper Rock, minimising the environmental impact of the antenna support structure which replace two television transmission sites.
The DAB+ ensembles operate on Blocks 12B and 12C and the new radio networks went on-air on 31 December 2012, allowing Gibraltar to switch off analogue television. Test transmissions started in November 2012. There are currently no plans to switch off FM radio in Gibraltar. The network launched on 18 December 2012 and currently the incumbent national broadcaster is transmitting four radio stations which are re transmissions of the same content that is currently being transmitted on the FM network.
