Weren't they subject to the licence being awarded by the end of December 2012 which may mean they already slip. Also some operators (e.g. Notts TV) initially indicated they would come to air in 2014 - although Comux's application did indicate they could run a "preview" service on behalf of the licensee before they launched to ensure the retunes picked them up.

Yes, but they are still committed to launch all phase 1 this year, so given that this timetable runs right to the end of the year it won't change much in that respect.

Also some operators (e.g. Notts TV) initially indicated they would come to air in 2014
The mux needs to launch before the local channel. Whether it does so a day, a month or even a year in advance is irrelevant. In the meantime it gives viewers a chance to retune, and the national channels on the mux bring in more revenue.

It's a preliminary timetable. It will change. The order will be shifted to align with the channel launch dates better. I posted it here now to give people searching a "transmitter timetable" thread some idea of the timetable of when their local mux (not channel) will launch, rather than digging the details out of an obscure technical document.

When Comux release an updated timetable that will obviously supercede this one.

Further discussion is probably better off in the local TV thread.

For the avoidance of confusion, that's the channel launch date, not the mux launch date.

Sutton Coldfield local mux has have been on air since the 28th November with test screens on channels 791 and 792.

Maybe the 30th Jan date is just the Brierley Hill switch on date?

30th Jan is the official in service date - as we have already seen this earlier test transmission may not be the final in service transmission powers or even antenna. That being said having a transmitter on air which can be received at your network operations centre is a pretty nifty idea!
