With the Sound Digital national multiplex expansion programme having been recently completed, Talk Radio, Talk Sport 2 and Virgin Radio are leaving the Aberdeen local DAB multiplex. These have been rel-labelled retune 2, retune 3, and retune 1 respectively, and presumably will be carrying on-air announcements to make listeners aware of the required retune.
These three stations joined the Aberdeen multiplex when the UK’s second national DAB multiplex launched, as at that time the Sound Digital multiplex did not cover Aberdeen. All three stations are owned by the Wireless Group, who also own the local DAB multiplex for Aberdeen. Wireless Group also have a share holding in the Sound Digital multiplex.
