The holder of a national or local radio multiplex licence may apply to Ofcom to vary their licence as it relates to the digital sound programme services which are provided on the multiplex. This may be a request to change the Format description of an existing service (or services), a request to add or remove a service, or a request to change the technical parameters under which a service is broadcast (e.g. from stereo to mono).
Older change requests are available at the National Archives.
We have a statutory duty to investigate any "changes of control" to our licensed stations, including those caused by acquisitions or mergers.
