For those who have asked...

A DAB radio multiplex is a system hosting dozens of radio stations, allowing them to broadcast, over DAB, to the same geographic area. Although DAB multiplexes have previously been licensed across large areas, such as counties, Ofcom are now offering licenses to run DAB multiplexes in smaller areas such as single cities and towns. This allows each area to have its own mix of different radio stations that can be more representative and more relevant to the place they are broadcasting to.

The City of Doncaster Is currently underserved by locally relevant and locally produced media so a DAB multiplex in Doncaster will allow more local stations to operate and offer local listeners more choice. In mid 2022, Ofcom advertised the opportunity to apply for the license to operate a Doncaster multiplex.
