Welcome to West Sussex Digital #

West Sussex Digital Radio Ltd has been established to bid for the South West Sussex small-scale DAB multiplex licence recently re-advertised by Ofcom. Our aim is to revive truly local DAB digital radio for West Sussex, giving small, specialist and non-profit broadcasters the chance to be heard on DAB for the first time and bringing the county in line with nearby coastal areas such as Portsmouth and Brighton.

Our consortium brings together not-for-profit and community broadcasters, alongside West Sussex-based commercial radio operators and experienced industry executives, all committed to serving listeners along the West Sussex coast with relevant and distinctive local services. If successful, West Sussex Digital Radio Ltd will hold the multiplex licence and operate the service on behalf of this group.

We are now inviting radio stations and other groups interested in launching a service to talk to us about carriage on the proposed multiplex and being referenced as part of our licence application. If you would like to be considered for inclusion in the bid, please contact us before 9th December 2025.
