Of the other stations you mention. Scala and Jazz are required content for Bauer on the SDL DAB multiplex, which has to cater for specific genres. Most of the other stations are filler content which Bauer uses to fill Bauer owned local DAB multiplexes to keep out competitors. Bauer doesn't even own the Kerrang! brand anymore, so it is likely that the few remaining Kerrang! Radio branded stations will be renamed or replaced with another Bauer brand. At a guess, Bauer buys a fixed bandwidth capacity on Freeview and Sky and fills a proportion of it with random stations until they start promoting a rapidly expanding brand such as GHR. It probably makes more sense to have contracts for specific stations on Virgin rather than buying a block of bandwidth just to fill it with random jukebox stations.
If Bauer can stop listeners haemorrhaging from Hits Radio, that could be a candidate for a future addition. Now might not be a good time.  |
If Virgin move SYFY +1 on CO 68 to an other stream,
Virgin would have room to launch GHR and three other radio channels on CO 68 to be like CO 73.
CO 68 has UHD and National Radio Channels
CO 73 has UHD and BBC Radio Channels
