(CEO Ian Mackie speaks to the UCB U.K. staff as they celebrate the milestone of broadcasting nationwide on DAB radio.)
On December 1st the global UCB family rejoiced with UCB U.K. when they launched their national DAB radio service throughout the United Kingdom.
“This is an extraordinary dream come true,” says Ian Mackie, CEO and founder of UCB UK. “We’ve had a 23-year-old dream and vision to broadcast nationally across the UK and it’s an overwhelming and humbling day to finally see that dream come to fruition. We not only fulfill our goal but also add contemporary Christian music to the variety of stations available to the ever expanding digital audience.”
In the U.K. digital radio is fast becoming the listeners’ choice in how they absorb the greater variety of programming and stations that digital radio now offers. DAB network company Digital One recently reported
“we have now passed 10 million sets in the UK….took five years for the first 5 million….30 months for the next 5……….watch this space for ‘how many’ in the next 12 months!!!!!!!!”
