    Freedab mux turned on in Sligo yesterday according to a post in the Radio forum! Can anyone in town with a DAB set try and tune in and see what’s available? I tried in Ballisodare but it’s not picking up anything, maybe only geared towards the town.

    There are nine stations listed but only 4 will play.I managed to pick up the signal in Ballisodare from the front of the house facing Sligo.Its great to have DAB at last in the NW!
