Neil houghton: Perhaps, when another slot becomes free?
All broadcasters can bid for Freeview space, as and when it comes available.
Not much has happened on COM5 for a while... so perhaps?

Nicholas Willmott: I suspect there are three issues:
1) Radio streams are fixed bandwidth - if you have ten 128kbps streams then that will take a fixed bandwidth of 1280kbps. It can't be "stat muxed", it is a fixed allocation.
2) The BBC mux also carries the BBCi text service of news and information, this has been ejected from PSB2. However, this uses the "opportunistic data", which is the capacity left after you have statmuxed the video services together.
3) The BBC don't want to spend loads of money on implementing upgrades for all the many regions - it's not just the case of a single bit of equipment.

Mike Dimmick: I agree that Waltham looks odd.
Perhaps I should check with Ofcom?
The red line on the original Ofcom diagram indicates the "incoming" signals, and it doesn't show anything from outside the UK of note.

trevorjharris: Interesting.
The document concludes
"DRM is the digital radio standard that complements and works seamlessly with other DIGITAL radio standards.
DRM and DAB+ provide complementary solutions.
DAB is an efficient solution for local/regional terrestrial broadcast in case of many services with identical coverage area (multiplex transmissions).
DRM & DAB+ offer identical features = One Digital Radio Family.
Combined receiver implementations are cost-efficient and straightforward.
DRM+/DRM30 ... terrestrial broadcast solution for ... individual-service transmissions."
