Podcast: Spotlight on hundreds of new stations via SSDAB

As Ofcom sets out its plans for hundreds of small-scale digital radio multiplexes around the UK, John Evington from Niocast and Viamux tells us how it’ll work and what it means for the future of digital radio.

Stuart Clarkson & Roy Martin talk through some of the other big industry stories of the week; James Cridland looks at how you can better use listeners’ smartphones to get them on air; and David Lloyd’s Radio Moments include Fluff welcoming DAB, Chris Moyles announcing his departure from Radio 1 and the launch of Hereward Radio.

Voiceover by Hannah Patterson. Original music by Mcasso.
