Text of editorial analysis by BBC Monitoring's Martin Peters

Heralded as the saviour of shortwave broadcasting, Digital Radio Mondiale
(DRM) was supposed to breathe new life into shortwave and AM broadcasting.

Instead, domestic use of DRM on longwave, mediumwave and the proposed VHF
allocation, where armchair listeners will value increased choice and audio
quality, is where this technology may more comfortably sit.

Crucially, DRM's profile is low in the consciousness of the public. Far from
appreciating what the system has to offer, most are unaware of its very
existence.

As usual no acoount has been taken to the transition from analogue to
digital.
Since simulcasting (analogue and digital) has not been properly
developed yet, broadcasters loose all analogue listeners by switching to
digital. Since there are no DRM recivers, and in the coming years limted
numbers of DRM receivers, you have NO audience.

I wonder what this new Radio Luxembourg wil have to offer to the UK: all
real money making formats has been taken.
And will people listen to DRM which just meets FM audio quality on a
good day when they have access to so many FM - and by that time DAB
output?
