Now Derbyshire is an upcoming local commercial digital radio multiplex in the United Kingdom, which will serve Derbyshire and other parts of the East Midlands.
The multiplex will be transmitted on frequency block 10B from five transmitters, including Lichfield, Drum Hill, Stanton Moor, Whitebourgh and Chesterfield Transmitter. Now Digital (East Midlands) Ltd were the only applicants for the multiplex.
The launch of the multiplex has now been delayed for it to be possibly merged with the NOW Nottingham multiplex. [1]
