Just 3 months after securing a SSDAB radio transmitter licence from @Ofcom experts from @viamux and @AndyBoltonProd installed the antenna on Blackpool Tower. A few more hurdles and testing and we’ll have a host of new local radio stations on air in days. Amazing vid @GedMills

Great to catch up with former Radio Wave presenter Jon Culshaw on his UK tour while in Blackpool. If you get the chance to see him, go!

The team at Fun Coast Digital are saddened by the passing of our good friend Linda Nolan. Linda was fiercely proud of Blackpool and did everything she could to promote the resort. Our thoughts are with her family at this sad time. Linda here with Fun Coast director John Barnett

If a certain TV show has reminded you how fab-u-las Blackpool is, don’t forget you could broadcast your radio station on DAB from the top of the iconic Blackpool Tower. And remember, places are Strictly limited!

We’ve had the screwdrivers out today at the top of (a breezy) Blackpool Tower and made some positive changes to the small-scale DAB radio antenna

While we do want politicians to support dab, I’m not sure this is what we were expecting. #dabradio #blackpool

As aerial sites go, ours is pretty impressive - even in the rain! If you live close by, get down to see the illuminations before they end on New Year’s Day, oh and tune in to one of the 11 small-scale DAB radio stations we have in Blackpool.

And, just like that, it’s a year since we installed a transmitter at Blackpool Tower. Thanks to @Ofcom small-scale DAB initiative, the Fylde Coast now has about a dozen stations broadcasting to 250,000 locals and 19m visitors annually. Find out more: funcoastdigital.co.uk
