In theory, it should allow more stations us...@Mikey<br />In theory, it should allow more stations using less of the radiomagnetic spectrum, thus freeing that up for other services (broadband, mobile phones, killer death rays) - but it would be more sensible to use the DAB frequencies for internet coverage, and encourage people to listen online.<br /><br />@johnh<br />Unless I've missed something - which is possible - there's no current proposals for Radio2Extra. 7 is going to reformat as Radio4Extra, but all the talk of a Radio2Extra seems to be coming from outside the BBC.<br /><br />But I do love the idea you might wind up with an extended version of The Organist Entertains.Simon Hayes Budgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084524317888577404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-87527914539228451512010-03-24T07:44:27.623+00:002010-03-24T07:44:27.623+00:00there won't be a gap when 6music is closed as ...there won't be a gap when 6music is closed as it will be replaced by radio2 extra - which will be playing longer and in depth versions of radio2's specialist output<br /><br />and more people will probably listen to it than listen to 6.<br /><br />although I agree with mikey - DAB is just a transitional technology. The BBC are currently committed to expanding the digital audience now though and so we're stuck with throwing money at an infrastructure which will be obsolete in a decadejohnhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-48845025775991352162010-03-23T21:57:33.383+00:002010-03-23T21:57:33.383+00:00This is an honest question: What's the point o...This is an honest question: What's the point of DAB?<br /><br />What does it give us that FM & internet radio can't?Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639836396121576665noreply@blogger.com
