U.DAB, North London’s new multiplex and the largest “Small Scale” DAB multiplex in the UK, launches today (5th January 2026), with 26 Stations on board.
The multiplex has previously been operating in Trial form with three transmitters.
The newly launched, fully licensed multiplex, now has double the number of transmitters, covering four million adults across North and Central London. The resulting improved coverage, and increased audience, will provide a far better listening experience for the wide range of radio stations carried on it.
Shareholders of U.DAB Ltd include; Audessence, Sammy Jacob, Solar Broadcasting, Muxnet and Community Stations Reprezent, Rinse, Resonance, Nagrecha Radio, The Beat and Rainbow Radio.
Even with the multiplex already operating at almost full capacity, there remains space for a limited number of services. Stations interested in carriage should head to northlondondigitalradio.com for further information.
The line-up of launch stations include: Reprezent, Rinse FM, Resonance, Resonance Extra, Nagrecha Radio, Rainbow Radio, The Beat London, Radio Caroline, Select Radio, Kool FM, CDNX (Camden Xperience), Soho Radio, Starpoint Soul, Solar Radio, Asian Star Radio, LGR (London Greek Radio), Delite Radio, Angel Vintage Ldn, Ruach Radio, Fun Kids, Liberty Radio, GreekBeat Radio, Polish Radio, House FM, Shine 879 and Hellas Radio UK.
Martin Spencer – founder of U.DAB Ltd said:
“The management team and investors of U.DAB are delighted to announce completion of the largest SSDAB multiplex in the UK. It has taken significant time and effort to finally achieve this, and the steady commitment of those many stations that have remained with us over the years is much appreciated. We can now look forward to an exciting future with a fantastic spectrum of community and independent local commercial stations on U.DAB, continuing to broaden the distinctive and worthwhile range of DAB listening choices for London we’ve pioneered since 2015.”
