Radio Nottingham is broadcast on three
FM
frequencies:
The Mansfield signal is strong enough to be heard as far north as
Scunthorpe
, far outside Nottinghamshire. The Nottingham signal may be heard as far south as
Leicester
.
Since 30 April 2004, the station has been available on
DAB
from the NDEM (NOW Digital East Midlands)
Nottingham
12C multiplex from
Waltham
(main signal and in
Leicestershire
), Mapperley Ridge and Fishponds Hill (since July 2006).
The station also broadcasts on
Freeview
TV channel 720 in both the
BBC East Midlands
region and the
BBC Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
region and streams online via
BBC Sounds
.
The station used to broadcast a
AM
medium wave
signal on 1584 kHz, from
Clipstone
, near Mansfield, until 25 January 2018 when the transmitter was turned off. This followed a trial, to determine if listeners would miss or complain about the loss of services on medium wave, from 17 August to 24 September 2012 when BBC Radio Nottingham stopped broadcasting its programmes on medium wave, instead directing listeners to FM or DAB.
