Former National Multiplexes DAB Ireland Mux1 (RTE - 2006 to 2021) The first national public service multiplex operated on Block 12C (227.360 MHz) by RTE from just five transmitters: Three Rock Co. Dublin, Kippure Co. Wicklow, Clermont Carn Co. Louth, Spur Hill Cork, and Woodcock Hill Limerick. Hence the service was only available in parts of Ireland. Its line-up has varied heavily since its launch - initially on 1 January 2006. All stations were provided by RTÉ. It carried the following stations: RTÉ Radio 1, 128 kbit/s Stereo RTÉ Radio 1 Extra, 64 kbit/s Mono (part-time service, used bandwidth from Chill) RTÉ 2fm, 128 kbit/s Stereo RTÉ lyric fm, 160 kbit/s Stereo RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, 112 kbit/s Stereo RTÉ Gold, 128 kbit/s Stereo RTÉ 2XM, 128 kbit/s Stereo RTÉ Junior, 128 kbit/s Stereo (07:00-21:00, timeshared a slot with RTÉ Chill). Drops to 96kbit/s Mono when required RTÉ Chill, 128 kbit/s Stereo (21:00-07:00, timeshared a slot with RTÉ Junior). Drops to 96kbit/s Mono when required RTÉ Pulse, 128 kbit/s Stereo. It was proposed to close the RTÉ DAB service as well as the Digital only RTE radio channels as part of the November 2019 cost saving plan. This proposed closure was set to take place in April 2020 but was delayed pending review through the outcome of a commissioned report. In March 2021, RTÉ announced that it is to cease transmission of its radio services on the Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) network on 31 March 2021. A report commissioned by the broadcaster found that just 0.5% of adults in Ireland listen to radio via DAB while 77% of adults in Ireland listen on FM.
