BBC digital radio coverage in the north and north-west of Northern Ireland is to be doubled, corporation chairman Michael Grade has announced.

Three new transmitters will be sited at Brougher in west Tyrone, Limavady and Sheriff's Mountain in Londonderry.

Which means "almost 100% digital radio coverage" in the North - good news for the west of Ireland.

What do you mean by that and what type of radio?

DAB is NOT going to work in places where there is no FM reception

Oooh, I'll look forward to Brougher being upgraded! It could be time to erect a noice DAB antenna outside soon.
