EMAP have kicked off a one month RSL (restricted service licences) broadcast delivering their Kerrang radio service to the people of Manchester. Kerrang radio will broadcast across the city on 97.6FM for the next month. The RSL demonstrates EMAP’s ambitions to make the most of those new FM analogue licences OfCom plans to make available – taking the Kerrang service about to launch in the West Midlands to other urban centres. EMAP’s Shaun Gregory says: “Kerrang! proved to be the winning formula for the West Midlands licence and we are confident that there is an appetite for Kerrang! across the country. We see the use of RSLs around the country as an excellent way of trialing our formats and is a statement of intent that we will be pursuing new FM licences when they are advertised.”
