Is there any way of finding out when local DAB on the Armagh transmitter (Northern Ireland) is due to switch on?, we can only receive the national stations from it now & have seen on Ofcoms page that there is plans to boost our station list, I find DAB coverage very poor overall across NI....

Well Armagh transmitter is now live, a little disappointed though it has only given me 10 extra stations (a total of 22), was hoping to have a similar number to the main Belfast transmitter which on last retune was roughly 60 stations...

Richard Cooper: Hi Richard, at all times I'm receiving the national stations from 12B, when I posted Armagh was broadcasting the local stations the transmitter was giving me 10 extra (commercial) stations, they only stayed on air for 3/4 days before being switched off again... (I'm right beside transmitter so signal strength won't be a problem)... I do know the area I live a lot were complaining of their TV service being interrupted while the extra radio stations were broadcasting

Richard Cooper: it's Arqiva who will be looking after the Armagh transmitter & head of a local station has advised it will be live by Autumn at latest... Some of the extra stations that came on during the 2 recent test periods were: Cool FM, Downtown, Downtown Country, BBC Radio Ulster, Absolute Radio 90's, Kiss & Q radio
