Have Ofcom published the transmitter power details for each of the phase 1 sites and/or each of the phase 2 sites? Have any of the phase 1 franchisees opted to use better mast positions than was assumed in the forecast maps? If yes, how will these changes affect the areas where reception is possible?

CCharles Stuart: The transmitter powers are as per the "reference offer" document the Arqiva produced for Ofcom: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/s….pdf
Comux - Homepage | Comux - (see Ofcom | Ofcom awards local TV ‘multiplex’ licence ) has not asked to change any of the locations in their bid.
They can't really - the interleaved frequencies are as they are because they are interleaved...

Actually, they are advertising for the locations you say are not on the list. The closing date for applications being 11 September 2013. The remaining 23 locations in the list to be advertised, in batches, over the next year.

Briantist: Indeed, I noticed the changes earlier. Although perhaps the location markers showing as "3" on the map could also be updated to avoid any confusion.

jj20x: Thanks. Yes, indeed. I updated the interactive map[1], but not the grab of it shown above...

I thought Shrewsbury and Telford were proposed to run local TV channels.
Were the companies with applications for licences rejected by Ofcom or something?
Could they re-apply or anyone else apply for a licence in the future?
And how soon could the winning licence get on the air? (SJ294530)
