Canada in Digital Radio Limbo (and so is everyone else)

"Canada in Digital Radio Limbo" "OTTAWA, Ontario — Going nowhe These two words succinctly sum up the state of Canadian digital radio broadcasting, or DRB. Despite years of offering Eureka-147 DAB simulcasts of AM and FM signals in L-band (1452–1492 MHz) in major metro markets, broadcasters have virtually no listeners and no market profile. “L-band DAB is in limbo,” said Canadian broadcast technical consultant Wayne Stacey, who has been involved with Canadian DRB for the past 20 years. “In fact, from a transmission standpoint, the band is dying.” I haven't got time to read the rest, but thought I should say the Canada have never really pushed their DAB radio system. Also having it only on L-Band probably didn't help, as that makes it very expensive to provide any reasonable coverage. I seem to remember reading that coverage was very limited, and there were sod all receivers available in the shops. |
