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 get in touch — we can confirm availability and support you through the process.

All pricing is subject to final contract. Monthly pricing is only available where payment is received by direct debit. C-DSP is a service holding a C-DSP licence from Ofcom for the Manchester & Salford area. Local DSP is any service holding a DSP licence with a permanent studio within our transmission area, producing at least 50% of content from that studio. All other services are charged at the DSP rate. Payments are made in advance by direct debit. DSP services are required to pay a one-month holding deposit, refunded at the end of contract. Other rates and service types are available by agreement.
