Exeter's Small-Scale DAB Multiplex
New digital radio stations for Exeter
Radio is about to get a whole lot bigger in Exeter and the surrounding area.
More stations. More choice. More opportunities to broadcast.
ExeDab is a collaboration between Devon station Radio Exe and Exeter’s community broadcaster Phonic FM, together with Riviera FM in Torbay, to provide the digital radio infrastructure in Exeter and the surrounding area.
We aim to be a great community asset, and thanks to the Ted Wragg Trust and Hilltop Riding School, we expect to have high-quality coverage across the city and beyond.
The stations will be on DAB+ digital radio, serving around 100,000 listeners. We expect to be on air soon. Find out more
