New Services on the BBC National DAB ensemble:
BBC Radio1Anthms
BBC Radio1Dance
BBC Radio3Unwind
These new services have been added to the BBC ensemble, all of the new additions are DAB+ 32 kbit/s (Stereo HE-AAC v2).
Although the bitrates of existing services have been reduced to allow the extra services to be added, this is not a change to the current status of the ensemble. It was noted on Wohnort that TEST 1, TEST 2 and TEST 3 had been added to the ensemble on 25/04/2025, which is when the bitrates of existing services will have been reduced. The new services have replaced these tests.
