Bauer Inverness, originally Score Inverness, is a local DAB multiplex broadcasting to the Inverness area. It was formed by the Scottish Radio Holdings group in order to operate one of the DAB ensembles for the Inverness area operating on 218.64 MHz. As such it transmits the commercial stations MFR, MFR Two and Kiss, and also BBC Radio nan Gàidheal and BBC Radio Scotland from the BBC. Scottish Radio Holdings was purchased by EMAP Radio on 21 June 2005.

Emap closed 3C on March 27, 2007. After Bauer bought the media assets of Emap, they later launched Heat Radio on the multiplex.

Other DAB multiplexes in the Inverness are operated by the BBC and Digital One. All these are transmitted from the Mounteagle transmitting station.
