The Opportunity
We are currently testing our new DAB network for the East Herts & West Essex . marking a major milestone as we bring this new service to life. We feel this launch goes hand‑in‑hand with Harlow’s £21 million regeneration project, supporting the town’s growth, ambition, and future‑focused investment.
As part of our testing phase, we’re putting the infrastructure in place to allow other stations to broadcast via DAB+ on our multiplex. We’re now inviting radio stations who may be interested in joining us to get in touch. If you’d like to express interest, please use the contact form at your earliest convenience.
Our aim is to become a strong community asset, with capacity for four community radio stations and up to 20 additional services—offering listeners a broad and diverse range of programming.
Whether you’re an established broadcaster, an online station exploring DAB expansion, or a new community radio project, we’d be delighted to discuss what we can offer. There’s no obligation, but as capacity is limited, we encourage early contact to secure your place and avoid disappointment.
