(asked on 23rd February 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what recent assessment his Department has made of the level of availability of DAB radio in rural parts of Scotland.
DCMS does not collect this type of information. The independent communications regulator Ofcom publishes an annual review of the digital radio market, which includes data on the availability of DAB radio services by Nation. The last report was published in November 2017. DAB coverage figures for Scotland are set out in the table below.
| UK Wide BBC | UK wide commercial radio | |
Digital One | Sound Digital | ||
Scotland Homes | 95.3% | 81.7% | 65.4% |
Scotland Major roads | 69.1% | 45.5% | 32.5% |
