Tindle acquires Channel Islands DAB multiplex

Nation Broadcasting has sold the entire shareholding in Bailiwick Broadcasting Ltd – the company providing local DAB transmission on the Channel Islands – to Tindle Radio.

Nation’s Founder Jason Bryant said, “The Channel Islands DAB multiplex has been a tremendous success and digital pioneer, being the first to launch exclusively in DAB+ and carrying the largest number of stations of any local multiplex currently operating.  

“We wish Tindle well as they develop their broadcast business on the Channel Islands.”

Tindle Managing Director James Keen said, “In less than a year, DAB’s reach in the Channel Islands has grown by more than a third with one in three people now using the platform every week.

“Nation Broadcasting has delivered a large and diverse selection of radio stations to people in Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney and we look forward to building on their early success in years to come.”
