RedArmy Group to apply for Stockton-on-Tees small scale DAB multiplex

21.04.2025 - United Kingdom United Kingdom

RedArmy Group has confirmed it is to apply for the small-scale DAB multiplex licence for Stockton-on-Tees. The licence, which will cover around 175,000 adults, was advertised by Ofcom as part of its Round 7 of licensing. RedArmy Group Managing Director Dave Roberts says the sub-region has been a challenge to find the right transmitter locations: “Stockton is a relatively flat area. It doesn’t enjoy the higher ground other Teesside areas has, so finding the right sites has been tricky. Saying this, the local councils have been fantastic in supporting the location identification process, they really want to see their residents enjoy the benefits that small-scale DAB can bring.” RedArmy Group says it has already received many expressions of interest for the planned service, including new stations not currently on DAB.
