Alec:
Jazz FM is carried on the Sound Digital (SDL) Commercial multiplex as a DAB+ transmission.
Unfortunately the Divis transmitter is the only one in Northern Ireland that transmits this multiplex. The Commercial operators presumably don't think it is yet cost effective to add further transmitters to the coverage.
