Apply to Broadcast

Our DSP capacity is currently full and we are operating a waiting list for DSP licence holders. We do have capacity available for C-DSP (Community Digital Sound Programme) services. If you’d like to apply for a C-DSP licence and broadcast on Manchester DAB, please complete the form below — we’ll confirm availability and guide you through the process. For all other enquiries, including the DSP waiting list, please also use this form.

Most of the questions are optional, but we would encourage you to give as much information as possible.
