News about SIBC

SIBC is local radio station committed to FM broadcasting, as efficient and providing good coverage. It is a system that is affordable both to the local broadcaster and to the listener.

The current SIBC FM licence period lasts until midnight 18 October 2016, by which time the future of local radio, and probably all radio in the UK, should have been established.

For local radio, FM broadcasting has already been confirmed well into the future. The Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport wrote on 8 November 2011 that the government had always been clear that a proportion of the FM band must be retained so that local radio stations could continue to broadcast.

This is something that SIBC has campaigned for since 1996, along with an affordable migrationary digital system. The Band II digital system has been developed but the UK is no nearer to adopting it.
