 Wohnort's symbol for 'original-flavour' DAB  Wohnort's symbol for Band III DAB+ tests have taken place on an experimental ensemble in Brighton. Generally, however, broadcasting in the UK uses "original-flavour" DAB transmitted in Band III. While it was proposed that some new multiplexes would use DAB+ for downloadable podcasts, it is likely to be some time before mainstream broadcasting is able to switch to DAB+, in spite of the cost savings for broadcasters that such a change could produce, because of the large number of original-flavour receivers already in use. The situation is made somewhat more entrenched by the refusal of certain receiver manufacturers to sell their UK models with their inherent DAB+ capabilities enabled (for reasons of licensing costs). This also has the result that a "UK specification" receiver will not work in an increasing number of other countries. The fact that test transmissions are now taking place demonstrates that nothing stays the same forever. Wohnort recommends, now more than ever, that you should consider buying a receiver that is DAB+ capable if you are likely to want to take it out of the country with you. Such a receiver should also be more future-proof than one which only receives DAB.

MuxCo says it has applied to Ofcom for permission to merge its franchise for Chester & Wrexham with that for North Wales. until a decision is announced, Wohnort continues to list the licence areas separately.

In an appendix to the licence advertisement, Ofcom points out that the frequency corresponding to Block 10D is currently used by the Mount Leinster transmitter in the Republic of Ireland for analogue television. Consequently, Ofcom states, "it will be difficult to implement the 10D frequency over significant sections of the western part of the licence area until either Mount Leinster ceases operation, or June 2015, whichever is the earlier".
