Audio Distribution

ADS is intended for the transmission of audio content for direct reception within a small defined area, typically a sports stadium or conference hall. This will permit the "broadcasting" to closed user groups of material such as a referee's comments, or conference translations, or audio descriptions for the visually impaired; in situations where other means are not suitable.

ADS can use frequencies within the existing PMSE band 60.75 - 62.75 MHz, but on a secondary basis to PMSE users.

You can now book the preferred ADS frequencies below using our online tools:

61.200 MHz
61.700 MHz
62.300 MHz
62.700 MHz

Alternatively send our in-house team an application form for an ADS licence

In addition, with immediate affect ADS WT Act licences issued by pmse state clearly that the licensee must also be in possession of a valid ADS-RSL Broadcasting Act licence.

Application forms and guidance are available on Ofcom's website. For further guidance on the ADS-RSL Broadcasting Act Licence contact Elaine.woolford@ofcom.org.uk
