The national DAB multiplex has been reconfigured to allow for Radio 2 Eurovision. The change to the bit rate is marginal – Radio 1, 1Xtra, 2 and 6 Music have been reduced to 128 kbps to 112 kbps. All services remain in stereo.

There is only a fixed overall capacity available on the 大象传媒 national multiplex and this must be managed carefully to achieve good quality across the wide range of services that the 大象传媒, as a public service broadcaster, aims to provide. Radio 2 Eurovision is broadcast using 64kbps mono.

Achieving the right balance between the number of services offered and the bit rate allocated to each can at times be difficult. We have taken considerable care over the technical arrangements needed to allocate suitable capacity for each digital radio services. This does mean the capacity individually allocated to some services has had to be reduced at certain times in order, for example, to bring part-time services to listeners. This will continue to be the case on occasions when we consider the balance across our digital radio services demands it.

The electronic programme guide on a DAB digital radio will not be available to update from Wednesday 20th May to Sunday 24th May inclusive.

However, as this is a 7-day guide, the majority of DAB EPG enabled receivers should retain the EPG (if they were updated before 20th May). The service will be resumed on Monday 25th May. We apologise to any listeners who may not have been able to update their guide.

Some listeners may discover that the Daily Service is not available via Radio 4 LW (on their DAB radio) on Friday 22nd May. The Daily Service can be listened to on Radio 4 Long Wave (analogue radio), digital television (including Virgin cable) and online. It is not available via Freeview.
