Read on to see what we did!
New digital radio stations for Harlow & surrounding areas
Radio will soon be getting a whole lot bigger in Harlow and surrounding areas with MORE stations, MORE choice and MORE opportunities to broadcast – how? with something called small-scale DAB radio.
The regulator, Ofcom, invited applications to run a new DAB network in Harlow. Xtra DAB, part of the Xtra Media Group, was formed to do just that – with the intention of keeping the service in local hands which is how we already operate.
We are very pleased and proud to announce that Today, July 22nd 2024, Ofcom awarded us the licence that we have been working so hard for.

The Opportunity
Now we are the proud operators of the small scale DAB service in the Harlow and surrounding areas we will be working on setting up the infrastructure in the area so that other stations can broadcast via DAB+ and our multiplex. Having now been awarded the licence we are keen to hear from radio stations with an interest in using our multiplex. Please express interest at your earliest opportunity using the contact form.
We aim to be a great community asset, with space for four community radio stations as well as up to 20 others to offer a truly broad and diverse listener choice.
So whether you’re an established radio station, an online station looking to expand, or a potential community radio station, we would love to talk to you about what we can offer. There’s no obligation but as space is limited do get in touch as soon as possible to secure your spot and avoid disappointment.
