Gibraltar - Current situation - History
18.12.2012
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 will be located at a single site on the Upper Rock, minimising the environmental impact of the antenna support structure which will replace two television transmission sites. The DAB+ ensembles will operate on Blocks 12B and 12C and the new radio networks are expected to be on-air by 31 December 2012, allowing Gibraltar to switch off analogue television by that time. Test transmissions will start in November 2012. There are currently no plans to switch off FM radio in Gibraltar.
