This allowed coverage of Gold to continue in all these areas, though it created an overlap in Manchester (where Gold would be available both on CE Manchester and MXR North West) - this overlap continued until the cessation of the MXR service in 2013. The move also resulted in The Arrow's DAB service being available solely in London.
This enabled Gold's coverage to encompass all these regions, but it generated a duplication in Manchester (where Gold was available through both CE Manchester and MXR North West) - this redundancy persisted until the MXR service ended in 2013. The move also resulted in The Arrow's DAB service being limited to London.
