Question

Can anyone tell me how to create and broadcast a digital radio station in the UK?

Answer 1

Obtain a broadcast licence from the Home Office first.

To do this, you will need to prove that the station will offer content that is valid, of interest and with a reliable schedule.

Don't forget, if you want to broadcast other people's material (songs, stories, poems, etc) you will have to pay them royalties.

Without a broadcast licence, you won't get a slot in the digital band.  Reckon on investing around £2 million to get going.

Oh, and don't forget, that 2 major digital radio channels have just closed down, due to lack of listeners.

Answer 2

You need to start by getting a better job to pay for it......
