Listening to Radio five this morning their technology reporter was relaying that on o the major players in DAB are closing their transmitters, as it is costing more than 19 million a year in investment. I did not get their name, but they did mention Planet Rock will be going off air, so this will be the Digital 1 Network.
The broadcast stated the company in question will be developing their services via digital television and possibly FM broadcasting.
At present, one of the stations closed a couple of weeks ago, and has been replaced by Birdsong.
The report stated the BBC spend around 9 million a year on DAB at present. Should the Beeb pull out of the service, and is this a waste of licence payers money. Or are any of you like myself who think DAB is a good platform, but without stations wishing to use the format it will be just a BBC only platform. I must admit I have had DAB for over two years and have been disappointed by the small amount of stations who have decided to broadcast on it.
