"Digital Radio Downunder"
"MACQUARIE Radio Network said yesterday that years of delays had killed the future of digital radio, which was being overtaken by broadband services, third-generation mobiles and digital devices such as iPods..." http://lists.radiolists.net/pipermai...ch/028726.html "Germany flicks off-switch on DAB" "Part of the problem is that analogue FM never went away and most people didn't seem to care for the clear digital-quality sound, and were left nonplussed by such benefits as easy tuning and message displays with song names and titles. DAB is struggling almost everywhere in Europe." http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/01...tches_dab_off/ "Report: Future Of U.K. Digital Radio May Be Bleak" "LONDON -- January 30, 2008: A report from Enders Analysis found that digital audio broadcasting, or DAB, is in trouble due to the high cost of transmission and slow revenue growth, U.K. newspaper the Guardian reports." http://www.radioink.com/HeadlineEntr...&pt=todaysnews "Digital Radio in Canada" "The Commission is very concerned about the stalled DRB transition. Roughly 15 of the 76 authorized stations (including the digital-only operation in Toronto) are not on the air. Some stations that once operated have since ceased operations. Few recievers have been sold, and there is no interest in expanding DRB service beyond the six cities where it exists." http://americanbandscan.blogspot.com...in-canada.html |
