The two community stations are part of ‘Erimux Limited’, which is currently preparing an application for the licence.
Jeremy Gartland, Operations Director at Erimux, said “This is an incredibly exciting opportunity which will bring a diverse range of new radio stations to the airwaves of Teesside.
“The volunteers of Zetland FM and CVFM have worked tirelessly to bring quality community radio to Middlesbrough and Redcar for almost a decade, and it’s now time to take things to the next level.”
Idrees Rashid, Communities and Partnerships Director at Erimux, said “There will be space for up to 30 new stations on the Erimux SSDAB multiplex, and we have already had a huge amount of interest from a diverse range of radio stations looking to broadcast across Teesside. As well as traditional music radio stations, we have also had interest from many specialist stations catering for African, South Asian and Eastern European communities.”
Erimux Limited have teamed up with leading Small Scale DAB experts Viamux Limited to prepare the application to Ofcom, which will be submitted by the end of April.
