This section contains the licence application forms that you will need to complete, and the accompanying guidance notes you will need to read, if you wish to apply to broadcast a programme service on a small-scale DAB multiplex.
C-DSP licences have been designed for community radio services only; other programme services wishing to broadcast on a small-scale DAB multiplex should apply for a DSP licence instead.
Note that applicants can only apply to broadcast on a small-scale DAB multiplex which is already broadcasting, or for which a licence has been advertised by Ofcom (see multiplex licence advertisements above).
