Paul: Oxford is a BBC National Radio DAB transmitter, and also carries the Digital One multiplex (national commercial services).
DAB is not like FM or even digital TV, where each transmitter uses a different frequency. Instead each transmitter uses the same frequency, the power level of each transmitter and its timing adjusted so that each additional transmitter looks like an echo of the first, and the stronger echoes timed so that they are within the period that the receiver can handle. Therefore, it's really meaningless to speak of signal levels for one transmitter. The important part is that coverage is continuous across the region. Increases in power from one transmitter might lead to decreases from this one to ensure that it doesn't interfere with that distant coverage area.
The licence for the Oxfordshire regional service has been granted to NOW Digital, but has not yet launched. See http://www.localdigitalradio.co.uk/oxford.php for the little information that is available. They are required to carry BBC Radio Oxford, if and when they do launch.
