Cotswolds MP, Geoffrey Clifton-Brown has today expressed his delight that Ofcom have decided to award the local Digital Radio Multiplex licence for Gloucestershire to MuxCo.

Mr Clifton-Brown said “Throughout my political career I have campaigned vigorously to ensure that rural areas receive the same level of service as urban areas. It is fantastic news that the residents of the Cotswolds will be able to have access to this exciting and innovative broadcast medium”

Of the two companies bidding for the licence Muxco offered the best coverage to the residents of the Cotswolds, with an estimated 92% of adults in Gloucestershire able to receive a DAB signal

In expressing his congratulations to MuxCo, Mr Clifton-Brown said he was looking forward to working with them in the coming months and years to ensure the residents of the Cotswolds receive the best possible service.
