Apply to Broadcast
Our Rates
Below are the rates of charge to have a radio service carried on City West Digital. These relate to our standard capacity levels of 40kbps/30 capacity units. Our standard capacity level is comparable with FM audio quality. Other capacity levels are priced on application (P.O.A.) and subject to availability.
Community Radio stations which qualify for and are in receipt of an Ofcom C-DSP licence will be charged carriage fees at a heavily subsidised rate. We intend to reserve enough capacity to carry nine community, not for profit, radio stations on the City West Digital radio multiplex.
| C-DSP | Local DSP | Out of area DSP | |
| Per Month | £350 | £700 | £820 |
| Per Year | £4,200 | £8,400 | £9,840 |
Prices exclude VAT
