Bournemouth One has announced a major technical upgrade and investment with the launch of full DAB+ stereo broadcasting across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, following changes to its transmitters and DAB multiplex coverage.
The move delivers clearer, richer audio, enhancing music, speech and local content for listeners across the conurbation.
The stereo rollout has been enabled by the launch of a new local DAB multiplex covering Bournemouth and Christchurch, alongside Bournemouth One’s addition to the Poole multiplex and an future service covering Verwood, Ringwood and Ferndown.
Together, these provide full stereo coverage across BCP and east Dorset.
The upgrade reflects Bournemouth One’s ongoing commitment to high-quality, digital broadcasting and forms part of a wider strategy focused on technology, audience experience and long-term growth. The new stereo service is live now, with listeners invited to retune or refresh their DAB radios.
CO-founder and CEO Roy Martin: “Life is better in stereo, so we’re thrilled to be offering an improved stereo signal for listeners especially in the car and in the workplace. It also means local advertisers wanting to reach a family audience in their cars, workplaces, homes and beyond, can enjoy the updates. Just contact the station for all the details.”
For the last 12 months, Bournemouth One has been available across the county in mono, usual the original DAB standard.
Digital Radio Bournemouth One’s unique format of nonstop music and local news and information is available 24 hours a day on DAB+, smart speakers, website and apps.
