That must cost a fair bit being on those multiplexes. Fair play.

It's not really too expensive to get carriage on the SSDAB multiplexes, most definitely cheaper than running the FM pirates losing 4+ rigs a month and the costs are easily paid if you're a popular station with decent sponsorship and loyal advertising clients.

Divine is only receiveable in the North of London. Centerforce has quite good signal everywhere. But for me it has to be Shine or Centerforce.

I would think Birmingham would have to be the dearest to pay after the Londonwide multiplex it's the 2nd biggest city in the UK
