Just 3 months after securing a SSDAB radio transmitter licence from @Ofcom experts from @viamux and @AndyBoltonProd installed the antenna on Blackpool Tower. A few more hurdles and testing and we’ll have a host of new local radio stations on air in days. Amazing vid @GedMills

We hope all interested parties will take part in this study about local DAB @RadioToday radiotoday.co.uk/2025/06/small-…

Congratulations to Mrs Danielle Barnett, one of the founders of Radio Wave in Blackpool, who receives the MBE for people with disabilities and their carers in Lancashire, in the King’s Birthday Honours.

Gulp! That’s a bit close to our aerial!

@radioriley Great! Hope it goes well. Bear us in mind when you expand further, as Blackpool has a loyal radio audience and also attracts 21.5m visitors a year and growing!

Big day for us tomorrow - significant effort in time, money and effort to launch sister station Boom Light on DAB+ across London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leeds and a number of other major cities. A station serving a huge market of Light music fans.

A beautiful day to broadcast

Great to catch up with former Radio Wave presenter Jon Culshaw on his UK tour while in Blackpool. If you get the chance to see him, go!

The team at Fun Coast Digital are saddened by the passing of our good friend Linda Nolan. Linda was fiercely proud of Blackpool and did everything she could to promote the resort. Our thoughts are with her family at this sad time. Linda here with Fun Coast director John Barnett

Lots of people out on Christmas Day in Blackpool - enjoy!

#BlackpoolCommunityRadio launches on Sunday but has now begun testing on @FunCoastDigital SSDAB in Blackpool. Listen live app-free at lsn.to/BPL "Alexa, play B.P.L. from RadioFeeds!"

If a certain TV show has reminded you how fab-u-las Blackpool is, don’t forget you could broadcast your radio station on DAB from the top of the iconic Blackpool Tower. And remember, places are Strictly limited!

The team behind the DAB small-scale transmitter in Blackpool - Alistair, Tony and John. We’ve been involved in local radio here for 30+ years. If you have a radio station and want to broadcast locally (and affordably) from the top of Blackpool Tower, just get in touch! @Ofcom

We’ve had the screwdrivers out today at the top of (a breezy) Blackpool Tower and made some positive changes to the small-scale DAB radio antenna

While we do want politicians to support dab, I’m not sure this is what we were expecting. #dabradio #blackpool

An interesting day in the world of digital radio transmission, summed up by the great Steve Canavan

As aerial sites go, ours is pretty impressive - even in the rain! If you live close by, get down to see the illuminations before they end on New Year’s Day, oh and tune in to one of the 11 small-scale DAB radio stations we have in Blackpool.

Thanks to @RadioToday for coverage of how we’re changing listening habits in #Blackpool

We’re proud on #LancashireDay to bring you a dozen new radio stations for #Blackpool and the Fylde Coast on our digital radio transmitter on #BlackpoolTower Rescan your DAB+ radio and start listening today! #SSDAB @Ofcom #digitalradio #localradio @RadioToday

There’s lots of people here today - is something going on?

A few days away in the sun and even the beer reminds me of radio

A massive congratulations to @AmandaHolden seen here on the radio deck of Blackpool Tower next to our DAB transmitter just about to climb to the flagpole, the first untrained person to achieve that in 130 years!
