Frequently Asked Questions

How do I broadcast my station on the London 3 multiplex?
Please visit the spare capacity page, to learn how to get your station on the London 3 multiplex.

Who manages the London 3 multiplex?
The multiplex is managed on behalf of DRg by Global Radio.

What stations can I get, my postcode is [x]?
The coverage maps on this website will enable you to see if you are within our predicted coverage area. The best way to check what you can receive is to use the postcode checker at www.getdigitalradio.com. DRg cannot guarantee coverage, and local geography can make a difference. Try moving your radio around your house and ensure your aerial is configured in the correct manner if you have reception difficulties. If you are on the edges of the coverage area, a fixed external aerial may help your reception.

Why are some stations at different bitrates to others?
It is the decision of the radio station how much capacity they wish to purchase from DRg, subject to there being enough capacity.

Why are some stations at a different protection level to others?
It is the decision of the individual radio station what level of error protection they use.

I can receive London 1 and 2 but not London 3 - why?
Due to technical restrictions, London 3 covers a smaller geographic area than London 1 and 2 so does not extend as far out.

When are you adding the new transmitter in [x] area?
At the current point in time we have no plans to add any more transmitters to our multiplex.
