Early in 2009, Digital Blues was approached by IndieTalent.ca, a well respected and burgeoning Toronto based internet radio station, and asked to produce and present periodic shows for them featuring the best of indie blues talent from around the World. The programmes were available until July 2010 when the station was sold and IndieTalent.ca ceased transmission.

From October 2009, a new programme, Digital Blues on Gateway 97.8, started being broadcast each Wednesday evening on Gateway 97.8, the community radio station providing real local radio for Basildon & East Thurrock. Programmes can be heard on 97.8fm in the Basildon, East Thurrock & surrounding areas and worldwide on the internet at www.gateway978.com between 9 & 11 p.m. every Wednesday. Each week's show is repeated between 8 & 10 p.m. UK time on Sundays.

Digital Blues on Gateway 97.8 was honoured to have been nominated in the British Blues Broadcast category of the British Blues Awards 2011 and recognised in the Best Blues Radio Show category in the Blues Matters! Writers’ Poll 2011.

In March 2010, Digital Blues was honoured to be invited to start producing a weekly edition of Digital Blues for Kansas City Online Radio and this now streamed at 11.00 a.m. Central US Time (17.00 UK time) every Sunday at www.kconlineradio.com and each week ' s show is repeated through the week at various times. Please check the schedule page at www.kconlineradio.com for times.

Ashwyn is now based in France where he records his shows in a small home studio in the midst of a rural, agricultural region. He is still actively involved with the UK and Essex blues scene, albeit, at a distance and is constantly scouring the world trying to find new artists.

Digital Blues produces and presents two completely different Digital Blues radio programmes weekly and the shows seek to offer maximum variety in every respect and have a regular band of listeners around the world. This has been enhanced by the recent introduction of podcasts of all weekly shows which are available on i-tunes and PodOmatic.

Playlists for all Digital Blues radio shows are posted on the Playlists page of the Digital Blues website and are also reported to the Roots Music Report for inclusion in their blues airplay charts.
