BBC local radio services on DAB digital radio are transmitted by commercial broadcasting operators. This is because the BBC's digital multiplex is already used to full capacity for BBC national services.

Some BBC local radio services are not yet available on DAB because they are in areas where a commercial licence has not yet been awarded so there is no commercial operator. Commercial licences are awarded by the regulator, Ofcom.

Online

You can hear BBC Radio Solent online and listen again to weekday programmes for 24 hours after they are broadcast.  Weekend programmes are available to listen again via the BBC iPlayer seven days after they are broadcast.
