UCB inks deal to extend reach into England and Wales

By Michael Ireland

United Christian Broadcasters Limited (UCB) has secured DAB Digital radio capacity covering five major regions and potentially reaching another 17.6 million people across the United Kingdom with the Gospel.

UCB has extended its DAB Digital radio broadcasting reach across the country with the addition of five regions which, with its existing London and Stoke licenses, will mean that virtually all major cities in England and Wales will be able to hear Christian radio, most of them for the first time.

UCB commenced broadcasting in the new regions on October 1, 2007 taking UCB’s potential audience for its Christian radio output on the DAB Digital radio network to just under 30 million adults, according to Ofcom (the independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries, with responsibilities across television, radio, telecommunications and wireless communications services).
