Bit academic at this stage as have not awarded the Local Licence for the to run on.

Arqiva's timetable for getting the stations into service is August 2014 for and September 2014 for Brighton. Information from http://www.arqiva.com/cor….pdf Schedule 11 (page 100 of the PDF).

Mike Dimmick: Don't be so hasty. Avanti do not plan to use or if they win the Muxco licence. They will provide increased and better targeted audiences tailored to the coverage requirements of the two new licence holders.
