Statement: National radio multiplex licence renewals
- Start: 09 June 2022
- Status: Statement published
- End: 21 July 2022
We have reached the following decisions, having taken account of the views we received from stakeholders.
- We will not impose any additional coverage obligations on licensees or require the provision of a new technical plan in renewing the licences.
- We will not require the licensees to provide new proposals for how they would promote or assist the acquisition of digital radio equipment.
- We will not set a PMR rate for the renewed term of the licences.
- The statutory deadline for a radio multiplex licensee to apply for licence renewal is the ‘relevant date’ of the licence in question. The relevant date for the Digital One licence date will be 15 November 2022. For the Sound Digital licence the relevant date will be 28 February 2027. The licensees may apply for renewal at any point on or before these dates.
