Capacity is sold off a ratecard with a standard fee for a 128 kbit stereo service.  The fee is then adjusted according to the actual capacity required by the radio station, and hours broadcast.

The total fees charged comprise three elements:

• Basic Capacity Charge: This is the basic fee for capacity;
• Telecoms Contribution: This is the fee to cover the costs of taking your output from your studios to the multiplex centre;
• Advance Payment: An advance fee may be payable upon signing of a contract.  This Advance is used to offset fees payable in the last year of the contract;
• There may be additional costs, which would be agreed with you in advance.

Fees are collectable by Direct Debit.

When assessing your application, we need to have assurance that your business plan is viable and we may request documents to prove this such as bank statements or an accountant’s letter.
