The UK regulator has revoked the "small-scale" licence for Yorkshire Coast that had been awarded to East Coast Digital Radio CIC. The operator had informed the regulator that it no longer intends to launch the service, saying it believes the project is no longer financially viable, with the size of the licensed area requiring multiple transmission sites and what it perceives to be a change in the likely level of demand.
