Are there any plans for beaming DAB radio from the Usk transmitter. The current DAB and FM signals are very poor, and subject to frequent interruptions, in Usk and surrounding area.

Geoff Punnett: There are no current plans which have been announced for any further rollout of DAB transmitters. It is expected that when the government eventually set a date for FM radio to be switched off that plans will then be announced for further DAB transmitters to be rolled out in areas which currently have FM reception but don't have the same BBC and local stations available on DAB.
