DAB Digital Radio in Essex

 

DAB - Digital Audio Broadcasting, represents the next generation of radio receivers, offering better quality than FM (with less interference), and a greater choice of radio listening.

DAB is available throughout Essex. With a DAB radio, you can receive a wider range of stations that you can with just FM, and you can receive stations that are normally only found on medium wave, in much better, stereo, quality. The choice of radio listening in Essex has grown over the last couple of years, and the cost of owning a special receiver capable of receiving DAB has fallen, making the move to DAB more attractive to radio listeners.

This page includes a summary of the radio stations available in Essex. For more details of DAB, go to our DAB page.
