DAB Digital Radio
We're on DAB+ digital radio as CHESHIRE'S MIX56 across South Manchester and Cheshire on the following Multiplexes:- Warrington & Runcorn
- East Cheshire
- Stockport
- Mid Cheshire
Don't forget you'll find us listed as CHESHIRE'S MIX56 (rather than "MIX56") on your radio display!
Special note for LYMM:
Unfortunately, Lymm has poor coverage on DAB at present. You may receive signals from all of the MUX transmitters but reception will be patchy and unreliable. Only certain transmitters synchronise - so the programme may "jump" or sound out of sequence from time to time. This will be more noticeable if listening in the car and on the move.
Although this is out of our control, there is good news!
OFCOM have approved an additional transmitter for Lymm. We are currently awaiting planning permission approval and hope to have this up and running by early summer.
